incredibly dark, March 26, 2005
This review is from: Sigma 28-200 f/3.5-5.6 Compact Hyper Zoom Aspherical Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (Electronics)
I'm not sure why, but this lens is incredibly dark. I need to have major amounts of light to use it; the built in flash is not sufficient to light a nearby subject. I will very likely retire this lens in favor of one i can actually use. So why not 1 star? I'm not sure if for some reason i'm missing something obvious... usually sigma rocks.

Good Compact Zoom Lens - For Outdoors, April 8, 2008
This review is from: Sigma 28-200 f/3.5-5.6 Compact Hyper Zoom Aspherical Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (Electronics)
I received this lens with my Canon Digital Rebel Ti from a friend. Its great for traveling, as it takes you from a good wide-angle to a respectable zoom. A word of warning, though: beyond 60mm or so this lens isn't very effective indoors if you are running at ISO 100 unless you are in an extremely well-lit room or have a nice off-camera flash. The variable aperture just doesn't allow you to shoot in low-light situations. So if you're looking for a reasonably priced all-in-one travel lens and you're going to be outdoors for the most part, consider this lens.
