Hi Jerry are you talking about the Sigma 28-200mm 3.8-5.6 UC aspherical with 72mm filter size. I just got one with a P30 body and have not used it so far. I looked up some reviews and have read so far: - it's okay for the price, but otherwise not really recommended - not good at 28mm and 200mm (soft) 35-180mm okay - a lot of flare, hood does not help
did you make the same experiences? greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Jerry in Houston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2004 7:45 PM >>To: [email protected] >>Subject: Re: Older Sigma AF lens info >> >> >>I thought I would chime in with my dos pesos.... >> >>I know it is not popular to say anything nice about >>Sigma lenses, but mine has been a fine lens.
