Product Description
Exclusively designed to suit the characteristics of digital SLR cameras featuring APS-C size image sensor. The image circle was designed to match the size of the image sensors of most digital SLR cameras and this has resulted in a compact lightweight lens. The use of aspherical lenses provides correction for various aberrations and makes high quality images a reality throughout the entire zoom range. This compact-Lightweight zoom lens has a maximum diameter of 62mm (2.4in.), overall length of 67.5mm (2.6in.) and weight of only 250gr (8.7 ounces) and filter size of 58mm. Compact dimensions offers superb handling and mobility. The use of aspherical lenses provides correction for various aberrations throughout the entire zoom range and produce high level of optical performance. Sigma took digital characteristics into consideration when designing the lens power layout and created the most suitable lens that makes high quality images a reality throughout the entire zoom range. We used the most appropriate coating for digital products to cut down flare and ghost caused by digital SLR cameras and to produce the best color balance. It can be used with the supplied lens hood to block out extraneous light. 18-50mm F3.5-5.6 DC zoom lens has a minimum focusing distance of 25cm (9.8in.) at all focal lengths and is capable of macro photography with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.5. The focus ring provides easy operation in manual mode. A distance scale on the focus ring is an easy to use and convenient addition.

Better than Zuiko 14-42mm March 29, 2008

I've been using the Zuiko 14-42mm for over 3 years now on my Olympus evolt e-300 , and the Sigma 18-50mm lens is far better. I have just recently got it and have used it many times. It's now become my favorite lens.
The Auto Focus is far faster, the Manual Focus is very smooth. It's easy to switch from one another with a click of the button. The images are clearer and the focusing is amazing on it for selective focusing. Fits good in the hand and everything turns and moves smooth.
The price is amazing.
Only problem I see, is it feels delicate compared to the Zuiko and the shipping was not 2-3 days like I order, more like 8 but it's all good.

I purchased this lens to use with my Olympus E-500 body. I was skeptical as to the image quality because of the low price. I'm glad I decided to give it a try. It takes excellent sharp pictures. I would highly recommend it!

I saw the price of this lens and I was alittle skeptical. I read the the person's review of this lens, so I decided what do I got to lose and bought it. This is an amzing lens for the price I paid for. I'm really pleased with the results of the photos. I recommend this lens to anyone who is on a budget. You will be suprised when you see your photos.
Awesome Macro and Aspherical Lens from Sigma October 29, 2007

I give this Sigma lens a five star.
This Sigma lens is a improvement than the Olympus E300 Packaged lens I got from: Zuiko 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 Digital SLR Lens.
I get sharper and clearer pictures then the Zuiko lens I got with my Camera.
Thank You and Merry Christmas
Wow! September 15, 2007

I bought this after reading the other reviews on this item. I AM NOT disappointed. It may be a little slow, but for closeup shots of flowers, insects, etc., I was overwhelmed. The detail and color were amazing. I bought my EVOLT 500 with two bundled lenses, and was disappointed with both of them. This makes up for it. I'll be looking at other Sigma lenses from now on. For the price, it's unbeatable.
