Sigma 50-200mm F4-5.6 DC OS HSM Pro Reviews

Overall this is clearly an impressive lens - especially given its remarkably low price. Admittedly it doesn't have the feel of a top-flight professional zoom but neither does it feel flimsy or exhibit any serious weaknesses when used within its own limitations. Given that field and technical testing proves this really is the absolute bargain it looks on paper, users who can live without a wide maximum would be well advised to consider Sigma's 50-200mm zoom as a compact yet very capable general purpose lens.

While the obvious alternative is the non-OS Sigma 55-200mm ƒ/4-5.6, we haven't tested it so we can't speak to whether or not Sigma has improved on the original package. Used wide open it's above average, stopped it down to ƒ/5.6 or ƒ/8 and it provides good performance. With internal focusing and optical stabilization, there's a lot to like about the new lens, especially considering the low price tag.

This isn't an expensive lens, and although it isn't the highest resolution lens I've tested, the results will be acceptable for most people, especially those who rarely produce large prints. The Optical Stabilisation system featured on this lens is very effective indeed when used with the correct technique, allowing sharp shots of static subjects that would otherwise not have been possible without flash, or additional lighting.
