Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Lens

 

I picked this one up after breaking my Sigma 20mm lens.  When using the 20mm prime lens, I had to shuffle in and out lenses to get the shots I wanted, so I decided when I broke it that I needed a zoom.  Luckily, these Sigma zoom lenses were just coming out on the market and it met my needs for a "Walking Around Lens".

 

The first thing I liked is the obvious range of the lens.  However, it is very light and is easy to carry around for everyday use.  The lens is not the best at 200mm, but it is very good for nearly every other type of shot that I need.  It will even do macros when my 100mm is not around!
