50-150 mm f/2.8 APO EX DC HSM

Originally posted 2006-10-31 on Optyczne.pl Recently we published a review of Sigma 70-200 mm f/2.8 EX APO DG HSM Macro - the lens that has good reputation among many users. This is big, solid instrument designed for full frame cameras so we were not surprised that it performed well on APS-C DSLRs.

poor image quality at the edge for 150 mm; chromatic abberation should be smaller in APO lens; noticable astigmatism for focal length range from 100 to 150 mm; clear vignetting especially at 150 mm; significant front-focus with Canon 20D

The build quality of the lens is excellent thanks to high quality materials assembled with very tight tolerances. The broad, rubberized zoom and focus rings operate both very smooth and even slightly damped - a rare characteristic these days.

Sigma's innovative approach to its lenses continues here with this addition to the DC range of cropped sensor only lenses. Designed to fit where the popular 70-210mm models fitted in on 35mm/full frame, we take a look at how it performs.

Excellent optical performance; Very good handling with fast AF; Compact with a supplied hood

Slight fall-off in resolution at the longest focal length; Distortion just noticeable at 150mm

This new f/2.8 telephoto zoom from Sigma is the answer to many photographers' prayers. As lenses go, this one is rather short on what you could class as key features, but that doesn't mean that it's below par. In fact it sets the benchmark on what a telephoto zoom should offer.
