$100.00
from B&H Summary: This was the biggest purchase mistake of my career. I bought this lens to replace a Canon wide zoom I had owned for years. I was on a very tight budget and needed a lens fast.
At 3 feet, the lens focuses well. Anything after 3 feet isn't crisp at all. Like the one reviewer said, you can sharpen the images in the editing process, but no one should have to do that.
As for the other reviewer, who said this lens was great for a beginner, I would say he's wrong, because a beginning photographer would see the fuzzy images and think it's human error.
And, anyone who thinks these images are crisp either needs glasses or isn't zooming in during the editing process.
True, you get what you pay for, but I expected Sigma to turn out a better product, and because of this lens's poor craftsmanship, I will never purchase another Sigma product as long as I live.
I paid $100 for this lens, and it has cost me over $2,000 because of the poor, unsellable shots I've taken with it.
But, if you want it, contact me, and I'll sell it to you for $40. Strengths: Inexpensive. Weaknesses: Unclear images.
