The Sigma 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM A1 is an all-in-one superzoom lens designed specifically for crop-frame Canon EF-mount cameras. Key features include:
All-in-one superzoom for Canon crop-frame
Optical stabilization
High build and image quality
Sigma USB dock compatible
All-In-One Superzoom. Covering a focal length equivalent to 29-480mm after sensor-crop factor, the Sigma 18-300mm is great for those who want to mount one lens to their camera and forget about it. All-in-one zooms are popular for travel and general every-day use, with the 18-300mm treading into wildlife territory. The slower f/3.5-6.3 variable aperture rules it out for any low-light shooting, but that’s not what this type of lens is made to do.
Optical Stabilization. The built-in stabilizer offers up to 3.5-stops of correction to help prevent camera shake, allowing you to shoot at slightly lower shutter speeds.
High Build and Image Quality: As a member of Sigma’s Contemporary lens line, it goes through Sigma’s rigorous A1 testing to ensure it leaves the factory performing flawlessly. Four FLD and one SLD elements minimize chromatic aberrations while maximizing image contrast and sharpness throughout the zoom range. The barrel is made of a lightweight TSC compound that gives the lens a solid, sturdy feel. The HSM focusing motor gives fast, accurate autofocus performance.
This lens doesn’t offer full-frame coverage.
