Product details

Who says that it is impossible to combine manageability with good image quality? It goes without saying that the relationship between optical performance and the size of a lens often consists of compromises
and priority is given to one or the other part.
A lens with a high zoom ratio usually also requires a compact housing and other outstanding features in order to be able to be used comfortably and versatilely in a wide variety of shooting situations. We still maintain that image quality is what matters most. When traveling with minimal photo equipment, the lens requires a wide range of focal lengths, especially when a telephoto lens is unexpectedly needed and there is no time to change the lens.
Even with a mega-zoom lens, our goal is to satisfy enthusiastic photographers with the versatility of such a lens and its optical performance.

Man hat hier ein gutes Objektiv mit vielen Stärken und nur wenigen Schwächen vor sich. Die Bildqualität wird mit einer guten Note belohnt, da fast alle Teilaspekte positiv auffallen, allen voran die Helligkeitsverteilung und die Leistung bei Falschlicht. Will man etwas negativ herauspicken, so ist dies die lediglich durchschnittliche Bildstabilisierung...

Am Ende verpasst das Sigma eine gute Gesamtwertung nur äußerst knapp. Dabei gibt es hier zahlreiche Stärken, die in besonderem Maße gefallen. Dazu gehört neben der guten Auflösung und der niedrigen Verzeichnung vor allem die exzellente Helligkeitsverteilung. Die schwachen Leistungen bei Falschlicht und die ebenfalls unterdurchschnittliche Bildstabilisierung kosten aber die Punkte, die am Ende entscheidend...
