Sigma 18-200mm DC OS arrived

Alright so it’s been a few days, but I have finally received my Sigma 18-200mm DC OS. For those of you that don’t understand those numbers it’s a zoom lens with a huge zoom range. It also sports a Optical Stabilization so all those zoom pictures won’t be distorted by my shaking hands. 🙂 Below is a couple if pictures to illustrate the zoom difference compared to my last all round lens:

Zoom ca. 160mm:

Zoom ca. 55mm:

My impressions so far is that it’s a good all round lens, but I’m still getting to know it. It does require a lot of light at max zoom, but that’s just to expect. Check my photoblog for future postings with this lens. 🙂 Read a more detailed review here.
