I originally was looking into the 70-300mm APO macro by Sigma and the 70-300mm lens by Canon. I chose this one because I was reading the reviews of the 70-300 by both comapnies, and it seemed that at the 300mm length the lens was very vey soft. Too soft to make a decent print. So I looked into this zoom range and it didnt bother me that it was only 200mm because I have the Canon XT and the 1.6x crop factor would make the zoom over 300 mm, which is more than I need. Plus, I saw pictures of this lens on one of the review site, and at the 200mm end, the pictures were not that soft! THey seemed like they could make a decent sized print.
Going with my hunch, I bought this 55-200 mm lens and boy am I glad I did!! The autofocus has great speed for the money I paid. Its a little noisy, but I actually like it. At the long end, I was using a shutter speed of 1\500 of a second and my hand shake (which you could def. see) was not apparent in teh photos. I would say at 1\150 and less would certainly make blurry pics. I plan on using a tripod at the long end for the most part. The build and feel of the lens is amazing. THe lens hood is awesome too. it goes over the lens and locks on the other way for easier carry around. and the speed of the lens is def. fast enough if you are out in broad daylight. Indoors things I believe would be a mess. Color rendition is quite nice as well. So overall, it is very sharp at the 55mm side, and decently sharp at teh 200mm size.
The only con I see is that you will need a step up ring for 58mm filters. I have a 58mm polarizer and was bummed about this...but step ups are really cheap, so its no biggy.
I bought this for my trip to AZ that I am going on soon. We will be going to the zoo and bird sanctuaries so it seems perfect for the occasion. I think this lens is amazing for the price. GO BUY IT!
*UPDATE* I just took some test shots. All from a tripod on a sunny day. I took 18 shots total, in the progression as follows: 55mm at f/4.0, 55mm at f\5.6, 55mm at f\8.0, 55mm at f\11.0, and I did this with the zoom lengths at 70mm, 105mm, 135mm, and 200mm respectively. All were shot with a Canon 350D. What I found was 55mm-105mm were sharp w\ all fstops, 8.0 and 11.0 being the best, but you couldnt really tell the difference. Then when it hit 135 mm, it was a bit soft at 5.0 and 11.0...8.0 was decently sharp, and then at 200mm the sharpest was at 11.0. When I say sharpest, I do believe it could make a pretty decent sized print. I mainly print 12x18 w/ my 350D, and I assume I could make that size print with this lens. There was some CA in all my shots, but I CS2 could easily fix it. I will update you after I come back from my trip to AZ!
*UPDATE*
Just got back from my trip. Went to the zoo with this lens and it is great! Took many pics, got some great shots of peacocks and parrots, etc. Feathers are really sharp. I also took pics of birds in their natural habitat. The lens was pretty sharp, and def. made decent photos. Autofocus hunts a bit, but for the most part, great lens!

Many owners of Digital Rebels have the standard Canon 18-55mm kit lens. While useful, the kit lens has some serious limitations, one of which is its lack of sharpness at the 55mm telephoto end. The Sigma 55-200mm provides a much sharper image and wider aperture at 55mm making it a good complement to the kit lens. Overall image quality of the Sigma is fairly good, especially considering the price, and the 200mm (320mm 35mm equivalent) telephoto end provides much needed reach to your photography.
The Sigma 55-200mm is one of the newer line of digital-only lenses. On the Rebel XT, it encompasses and 35mm equivalent focal length range of 88-320mm. Focus is fairly fast and image quality is relatively good. The lens is small and light compared to other lenses with similar ranges making it a great match for the rather small Rebel XT. The lens uses a 55mm filter thread, however, which means you'll need a step-up adapter ring if you want to share the same 58mm filters as the kit lens. All in all, this is a pretty good bet if you're looking for an inexpensive second lens to expand your photogtaphic horizons.

Bought for my mom for Christmas, she has a RebelG 35MM camera.
When researching this lens I found that many people claim that there is Vignetting when used with a film camera.
After using this I can report that the vignetting problem is there, but so minimal it is not an issue.
I took pics fully zoomed or not and only saw the effect on a few pictures. Even then, the effect was so slight it did not detract from the quality of the shots.
Take my word on this, if you are looking for a great cheap 200mm lens, this one is the BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!
For a typical family user this lens works great on FILM cameras.
I did not test it on a digital camera.

I bought this lens hoping it would give me the over all photo lens capability for general photography I want. This lens for the money has come close to that expectation. It is a very good lens. I have shot close to 100 photographs of people and scenes, great clarity for the price. I have no complaints so far.

This lens picks up where my standard 18-55mm left off. I have a Canon Digital Rebel XT. The motor of the Sigma is kind of raspy, but my ear is also closer to the motor than everybody else's. Another thing - I wish the zoom wasn't so stiff. Other than that, the lens is good value. I think an equivalent from the Canon manufacturer was in the $200 range.

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.

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

I have compared this lens with Nikon's version of the 55-200mm, and I find the auto focus of the Sigma lens to be faster and snappier than that of the Nikon lens. Also, in terms of sharpness of image, I can't tell the difference - seems to produce every bit as sharp and clear an image as the Nikon lens does - at a significantly lower cost! A good solid value for the going price.

It was a Christmas present for my wife. Excellent quality.Sigma 55-200mm f/4-5.6 DC Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
14 December 2008
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.
17 February 2007
Easy to operate. Attaches perfectly to my A100 camera. Pictures taken with this lens are superb!
13 October 2005
I purchased the Sigma 55-200mm lens only two weeks ago after it was recommended by a friend.
Thus far, I am very pleased with its optics. I was somewhat reluctant to buy a lens at such a low price thinking that the quality would be lacking. To date, I have no complaints at all.
I would recommend it without reservation.

Look, this lens will get you into the action (no problem focusing on your little soccer phenom), but at f/4 you have to compromise on either shutter speed or ISO. So you may have to choose between motion blur or noise, neither of which is attractive. Alternatively, you can use Photoshop (or equivalent)to correct these photos (ideally, your action shots should freeze your subject while blurring your background... harder to do at f4 than f2 or f2.8) by blurring the background after the fact. That said, if you are on a budget, I can recommend the lens. Just know in advance that you may have to compromise a bit on your shots and that you may be required to edit/retouch your photos to get the effect you are after.
If you have a little more cash to spend, check out the relatively new Olympus Zuiko 18-180 lens. This is one you can keep on your camera nearly all the time (f3.5-f6.3) It has just a slightly shorter range than the aforementioned Sigma. I use it and I love it. Really is a fantastic lens that didn't break my bank.
24 August 2005
I've been enjoying this lens for several weeks. I bought my Evolt in late June with an eye on the Sigma 55-200. It has exceeded my expectations, I like to think...I "effectively increased my range without leaving my price range!"
Clearly, Sigma makes a good product on par with Olympus Lens. I'm looking forward to other Sigma products for the Evolt here at Amazon.
16 September 2005
The Sigma lens is a good telelens, more range for less money. I use it with my E-300 Evolt. The operation feels different from the original Olympus lenses, it takes a but more effort and you cannot use the manual focus mode on the camera, you must flip a switch on the lens. Other than that it works seamlessly and provides good quality.
16 March 2006
This is not a high end lens, but it's a nice pacifier until you can save up for the Zuiko 50-200mm :) It works good as a sunny day zoom lens. I use it with my E-1.
Pros:
- Price!
- Small & lightweight
- Great entry level for this zoom range
Cons:
- Not very bright
- Slow focusing
- f/4.0 :(
I recommend it, especially if you're not sure how much you'll use this zoom range.
