Hey guys, you know, I have the nikon 18-200 vr, a lens that of course it works awesome, so one day I said, what does the vr does exactly? I shoot many pics with the VR on and many with the VR off, and you know what I didnt see any diference, shooting at 18mm or 200mm I got the same results, WELL I saw this Sigma 18-200 on Ebay for 150 bucks, and as I trust sigma couse I Already own of their lenses (SIGMA 150-500 OS)that works great also, I said, let me buy this thing, I got it today and of course I did some tests already, the only diference I found with the sigma and the nikon is that when u use the camera settings on automatic(programed auto), the pics taken with the nikon are a little bit sharper than the pics taken with the sigma,but u only see the diference if u compare them, otherwise the pics from the sigma looks great, now, this diference is when the camera is used on programed automatic, but when u take control of the camera,(M,MANUAL)you get the best from this lens,. So, all I can say is that this lens is great, its not the best of course and its not better than the nikon 18-200 vr, but with the right setting on your camera you can get the same results that u get with the nikon 18-200 vr.. Good luck. NOTE. I used this lens with NIKON D300, It may work different with other models. Read more...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so, I think, is one’s opinion of a camera lens. I’ve learned over the years that lens reviews are helpful, but they are just opinions. Yes, for sure, you generally get better optics with more expensive lenses, but it’s certainly not a guarantee. And for reasons one can only wonder about, oftentimes two copies of the same lens will produce very different results. For example, my friend Sara, who is as nuts about buying (we’re like compulsive buyers) and using Canon lenses as I am about buying and using Nikon ones, has a Canon EF-S 18-55 kit lens that produces images so tack sharp through its whole range that would make you cry.

Apparently, this lens is available in two versions for the Nikon. The AF018N-700 does NOT have a built in motor for AF. The AF018NII-700, does. If you want AF and your camera does not have an AF motor in the body, make sure you get the lens with the motor. Reading through the reviews on this page, it seems that people are reviewing the two different lenses here, thus the confusion. This lens does not have a motor. The AF works fine with my D300, but not with my D3000.

Awesome everyday use. I get lazy when switching out lenses.
Pros- when I want to shoot macro, fairly simple. When I want a wide lens shot- I got it. All in-one-feature. HAPPY with results (color wise- amazing, depends on technique).
Cons- not much, other than I wish I can zoom in more? I need to purchase a hardcore macro lens++. I love abstractions from zooming in super close!
Overall- NICE..
