Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Lens for Minolta and Sony Digital SLR Cameras – Customer Reviews

Admit it, many of you are looking for that one lens solution for the times when you just can't bring all your gear. For me, this is that solution. I have used this lens extensively on my KM5D and find it to be quite usable. Yes, it is a megazoom. Yes, it has problems, but these are compensated for the sheer convenience. I find the lens to be rather sharp and colors to be quite nice as well. The price is certainly reasonable and the build quality is quite good (i.e. metal mount). I highly reccomed this lens, but be aware that it is not "G" (or "L" for you Canon folks) glass. Once you get by that, you can appreciate the lens for what it is. I highly reccomend the PTlens plugin for photoshop to use with this lens to correct distortions, vignetting, etc. Highly reccomended!

Here's a nice shot I took with this lens while vacationing in Northern California.
