4.0 out of 5 stars Good Compact Zoom Lens - For Outdoors
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...

3.0 out of 5 stars incredibly dark
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.

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.

This is a great lens for beginner to intermediate. Used for many trips and vacations and was always pleased with the results - allows you to travel with only one lens, reducing luggage clutter.
