Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sigma 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 DC Aspherical Zoom Lens for Olympus and Panasonic Digital SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Better than Zuiko 14-42mm
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using the Zuiko 14-42mm for over 3 years now on my Olympus evolt e-300 , and the Sigma 18-50mm lens is far better. I have just recently got it and have used it many times. It's now become my favorite lens.
The Auto Focus is far faster, the Manual Focus is very smooth. It's easy to switch from one another with a click of the button. The images are clearer and the focusing is amazing on it for selective focusing. Fits good in the hand and everything turns and moves smooth.
The price is amazing.
Only problem I see, is it feels delicate compared to the Zuiko and the shipping was not 2-3 days like I order, more like 8 but it's all good.

Description of Sigma 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 DC Aspherical Zoom Lens for Olympus and Panasonic Digital SLR Cameras
Exclusively designed to suit the characteristics of digital SLR cameras featuring APS-C size image sensor. The image circle was designed to match the size of the image sensors of most digital SLR cameras and this has resulted in a compact lightweight lens. The use of aspherical lenses provides correction for various aberrations and makes high quality images a reality throughout the entire zoom range. This compact-Lightweight zoom lens has a maximum diameter of 62mm (2.4in.), overall length of 67.5mm (2.6in.) and weight of only 250gr (8.7 ounces) and filter size of 58mm. Compact dimensions offers superb handling and mobility. The use of aspherical lenses provides correction for various aberrations throughout the entire zoom range and produce high level of optical performance. Sigma took digital characteristics into consideration when designing the lens power layout and created the most suitable lens that makes high quality images a reality throughout the entire zoom range. We used the most appropriate coating for digital products to cut down flare and ghost caused by digital SLR cameras and to produce the best color balance. It can be used with the supplied lens hood to block out extraneous light. 18-50mm F3.5-5.6 DC zoom lens has a minimum focusing distance of 25cm (9.8in.) at all focal lengths and is capable of macro photography with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.5. The focus ring provides easy operation in manual mode. A distance scale on the focus ring is an easy to use and convenient addition.Accessories
