 plastic build, light weight, surprising optics Sep 23, 2007
By E. K. Arnold
"amazon hunter"
i briefly had this lens and though i traded it in, it's actually a pretty good deal for the money. anyone expecting a pro-quality lens or a 2.8 at this price is insane.
the first thing you notice is that the build quality is super-plastic-y, even toy-like. that was a turn-off for me, but to get a better-made lens, you'll have to pay hundreds, if not thousands more -- the nikon 55-200 alternatives are also plastic, and sigma doesnt offer a 55-200 in an EX finish.
still, the sigma 55-200 does have some advantages if you're not overly concerned with name-brand snob appeal. it autofocuses very quickly due to its short barrel and excels at tracking moving subjects handheld due to its light weight. and the optics are clearer and sharper than you would think, although there is a bit of fall-off at 200mm. this lens would obviously appeal to budget-minded shooters, but it would also be a good backup lens for travel for someone who doesnt want to drag along a lot of heavy glass. and at the price it's being offered for, you could easily buy two in case one breaks.
note: unfortunately for d40 users, the sigma 55-200 has no internal motor, so your camera will not AF with it.

A word of warning. Jan 23, 2009

This lens is great for the money, a word of warning, it will not autofocus with the D40, D40x, or D60.

It's okay for the $$$$$ Dec 14, 2008
By L. Aderholt
The lens is average. The zoom quality is mediocre and the edges do get a tad fuzzy. You get what you pay for. It will do what I need for the time in which I have it.

 Sharpness High Price Low for this Lens Aug 21, 2005
By David Smith
There are some that slam this lens and others that praise it. You have all heard the value of the 50mm 1.8 right? This Sigma lens is close to the same value as far as cost vs sharpness. It is not as fast as a 2.8 lens but it also is not as expensive. If you can afford it get a 2.8 lens but if not then this is the lens you want. It is very sharp but does become soft at outer edges
Not for all cameras Jul 29, 2010
By David Manning
"The Dave Manning"
WARNING if you have a low end entry level DSLR then you will probably want to buy this. This camera lens does not have a motor in it and if your camera does not have a motor in it, it will not autofocus. Wish I would have known before my purchase, or I would have saved up for the nikor 55-200mm.
