Great image result for an APS-C style of camera. Used extensively on a major holiday in Europe the lens proved itself. The only downside is 'lens creep' as set in and the 'lock' must be placed on at all times if the camera is facing towards the ground when being carried.

Easy to use

Build quality

The title is a little misleading. It is the latest version of the lens, not the one with the 72mm filter. If this is what you want, it is nicely packaged, it includes three filters with magnification for close-up photo the bag and the protection petal. Hope this helped.

I am an amature, have kids doing concerts to sports indoor and outdoor. I bought this lens because it is affordable and great quality. I do not have to change lens anymore, one lens for any activity. Exactly wat I am looking for.

Affordable Price; Fast Focus; Great Photo Quality; Light Weight; Perfect For Amature

A Little Tight To Operate

I needed a one lens that does it all. A very fast quiet lens. I am very pleased with my purchase. I just take this lens for my yearly travel holidays. I am very please with my macro photos and my scenery photos. I cannot find any faults

So far no sign of lens creep, common to many extended range zooms. Seems sharp throughout range, and the macro setting is an added plus.

Price; range

Might seem heavy to some; but not this old guy

I like it, i can take close pics and far away pics

i dont need to change lens any more

its a little heavy

I wanted a solid walkabout lens for my D5100 without breaking the bank. I had the option of buying the Nikon 18-300 for about $1000 or a 3rd party lens. I really did't want to invest too much in glass for a D series mount as I can see myself moving up to an F series in a couple of years.

This is an amazing product for those who hate changing lenses. this lens is actually the Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM , you can read the reviews at http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/sigma-18-250mm-3p5-6p3-os-hsm-macro This was the best price I got it for.

General uses inside and outside. Scenery and people, portraits, etc. Only reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars is the need to switch off Auto focus, in order to manual focus, unlike Canon USM lenses. Also it stops down to 5.6 sooner than Canon's 18-135.

Comes with Hood; Compact When Retracted; Great zoom range; Light Weight; Quiet

Manual Focus Is Switched; Slower Ap Than Desired
