Sigma’s 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM zoom won praise for its balance of performance and convenience, but it looked bulky after rival Tamron introduced the diminutive 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD. Reducing the size, and weight while updating the optical construction to allow a new minimum focus distance of 35cm, the 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM is Sigma’s response. But has the redesign compromised the optical performance, or is it a valuable addition to the range? Read on to discover our verdict. |

I just got mine. It's the same size as the 28-300mm FX lens. Take this lens along with the 12-24mm f/4 or 10-24mm, and the 35mm f/1.8 and you've got all you need for just about everything. Throw in a flash and you're done. I also require a dedicated macro, but that's my thing. I like this lens on a D7000, and it works just fine on the D3200.
