Product Description
Kit includes: 1) Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC Zoom lens for Sony / Maxxum; 2) Hoya 62mm UV HMC Multi-Coated Filter; Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC Zoom lens Includes: Lens Hood; Front and Rear Lens Caps; Instruction Booklets; Sigma USA Warranty. >>> The Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 DC Zoom lens was exclusively designed for use with Digital Single-Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras and has a 6.9 times high magnification zoom ratio. A Special Low Dispersion (SLD) and two pieces of aspherical glass elements produce high level of optical performance through the entire zoom range, and the high-quality construction results in a compact, lightweight lens. The lens coating reduces flare and ghost, which is a common problem of digital cameras, and also creates an optimum color balance. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 50cm (19.6") at all focal lengths and has a maximum magnification of 1:5.3. It is equipped with an inner focusing system, which means that the front of the lens does not rotate, and that petal-type hoods and circular polarizing filters can be easily attached and used. In addition, this lens is equipped with Zoom Lock Switch that eliminates "Zoom Creep.">>> SPECIFICATION: Lens Construction: 15 Elements in 14 Groups; Angle of View: 69.3° - 11.4°; Minimum Focus Distance: 19.6 in.

Customer Reviews
The best service
I receive both in new condition. sigma 18-125mm len is better the kits len. good for manual focus ( I use). The auto focus is fast. the UV filter looks very good.
A great everyday lens
I finally bought this lens used in excel condition like new for 100usd, to use on my Sony A100, with my Sony this lens will be come optical image stabilizer at all time, thats the best avantage to own Sony dslr, the lens is well built, made in Japan, small and light weigh, focus is exceptional fast, but a little noisy, filter size at 62mm, comes with matching petal hood, i tested shot it about 300 shots by now, i can see that at wide angle @18mm images are good, sharpness is fine, nice contrast, but from 35-125mm images are even sharper, images turn out great, good detail contrast and nice colors, now! im not sure its from the lens or camera, or both, but im very happy with it..
I am sorry for those whos wrote neg reviews on this Sigma lens, either he or she got a bad copy or the camera body, or dont know how to use it right?, buy Sony camera body or Fujis then you will be alright, i havent had a bad lens to use with my Sony at all. Infact, i have sold all my Nikon and Canon lenses to stick with Sigmas and Tamrons, im not saying Sigma is better lenses, im saying that Sigma is a better buy ( Sigma is the biggest camera lens maker factory in the world)i trust them and like them, the other lenses are over price and you cant really tell the diff in image quality in everyday use.
With this range 18-125mm you can really use it at all time..i like Sigma choice in lens ranges, they do make all diff ranges, i used to carried 2 lenses on vac, now i can use only 1 lens.
Happy camper!
