 "Great Lens for low light and fast" 2010-01-12
By Risch (Orlando FL)
I use this on my 40D, was not impressed with the previous reviews but needed a 20mm so went ahead and pushed the button. Picture quality was stunning at the amazingly low lights and the lens was super fast. excellent built quality. A great buy for an ultra wide angle.

 "bad lens" 2009-08-12
By Otto Haring (Miami)
I used it to shoot from an elevated angle. The result were disappointing.....I paid $[...] but I don't think it is even worth more than $[...] to tell you the truth.

The colors are lifeless, "burnt-out". There are no details on the images. You can see the samples on my site: [...] Look for the huge house with the red roof. You will see what I am talking about. Normally, I use the 17-40 L on my elevated system. I thoguht the 20mm would be a good replacement even if it not as good as the 17 40. I think even the 18-55 Canon kit lens produces better images. Add a few hundred bucks and buy a decent lens.

Always happy with Canon Lenses.. I am more a detailed photographer, I purchased this mainly for my husband. He enjoys taking more landscape photography. Overall, very happy!

 "Great, versitile lens" 2008-07-14
By John Koehn (Arlington, VA)
I was a bit concerned at first with the fixed focal length, but it has proven to be very versatile. It takes very sharp pictures, even when fully opened in low light. I have not noticed any of the vignetting that other users have mentioned.



Bottom line: great wide angle lens for the price. Useful for landscapes and tight space, low light situations.

 "disappointing, especially for a fixed lens" 2008-03-03
By Neurasthenic (New York City, New York)
This is one of the first two lenses I bought when I switched to a Canon SLR about five years ago. I've had plenty of opportunity to use it since then, both with film and (full frame) digital.



The idea behind this lens is a good one -- 20mm is wide enough to allow for landscape and architectural photos, and it focuses close enough for entertaining photos of people's faces, taken about a foot away from their noses (note that you'll need either a ring light or lucky ambient light to pull off the latter). There is some pincushion distortion, but nobody would accuse the results of looking like a funhouse mirror, as would be the case with a fisheye lens, for example.



f2.8 is fast enough; I've no complaints there. Unfortunately, this camera consistently vignettes -- the corners of every image are dim. This is true even with a bare lens, and filters make it worse. You can correct the problem in image editing software, or just crop the image, but what's the point of buying a 20mm lens if you're going to have to crop every photo you take with it?



If this had been a cheap zoom lens, I'd have expected the problem and not been bothered by it. With a fixed lens, however, I think there isn't much excuse.



Canon still charges about the same ($400) that I paid for this lens years ago. By now, they ought to have upgraded this thing, or dropped the price. It is the worst EF lens I own.





-- addendum: I've recently been using a Canon EOS IX, which takes APS film. This lens is much more useful with that camera, though using even APS-H, you get something akin to the image you would get from a 35mm lens on a 35mm negative.

 "All-in-one zoom lens." 2010-01-24
By caldwin (Nashville, TN USA)
I have a Canon Rebel XTi digital camera and also a Sony DSC-H7

with a 15X optical zoom. For travel pictures I have always used

the Sony because it didn't require all the extra lenses. This

Tamron lens gives me the zoom range I need (14X) with the Canon

without having to take along a lot of other lenses.

 "Depends what you are looking for..." 2010-01-04
By Jephu (NJ, USA)
Is this a good lens? Yes. Is it right for you? It depends.



If you plan to do a fair amount of *outdoor* travel and want to zoom without swapping lenses, this lens is probably right for you. Why?

- This lens is much lighter than lenses with VR/OS (vibration reduction/optical zoom). If most of your shooting is outdoors, then you probably need a light lens more than you need VR/OS.

- The photo quality is good when zooming, as long as you have enough light to use a high shutter speed.

- I've found the focus to be relatively fast and quiet, which is nice when you are taking photos on the go.

- This lens is really dropping in price, so you'll save some bucks while still getting a good quality lens.



If you plan to shoot indoors or want to take the best pictures possible, this is probably not the best lens for you. Why?

- If you are traveling and want to take pictures indoors, consider going for a lens with an f stop of 1.8 or lower or at least getting a lens with VR/OS. The f stop only goes down 3.5 on this lens, and gets higher when you start to zoom.

- If you want to take the best picture possible and you are traveling and don't care about the weight, get a lens with VR/OS. This will help take clear picture when you zoom or are dealing with overcast.

- If you are not traveling and have all the time in the world, why not get a nice 50-200 zoom and just swap it in as necessary. You can get one that is a better quality and cheeper than this lens.



Hope that helps!

 "Great Lens, Super Convenient, A Little Slow" 2009-11-23
By D. Patterson (Northfield, MN United States)
I love this lens, it was a Christmas gift last year. My only complaint is that my batteries SEEM to drain a little faster with it, and it focuses and takes photos a little slower than the original 18-55 lens. I also have a 75-300 lens. This lens is the best for general use, since I never have to switch anything or carry anything extra. I am not a professional, just an amateur that takes thousands of photos a year. With two little kids in tow, the convenience and versatility of this lens cannot be beat!

 "Some trade-offs, but overall a good all-in-one lens" 2009-10-02
By DRC (Austin, TX United States)
In the 18-55mm range, I find that this lens mostly performs like the Canon EF-S 18-55mm that came with my Digital Rebel kit. It definitely has compromises, though, which were necessary to get the 13.8x zoom range into a single lens. The Tamron 18-250mm vignettes generally on f/4 and wider when you're at the wide angle end of the zoom range. The vignetting can be compensated for in Photoshop, but it becomes worse when a filter is attached. I have to be really careful if I use a polarizer to keep the aperture narrower than f/4. The sharpness at the far end of the telephoto range isn't the best, either. This article goes into that in some detail, comparing it to a Canon professional telephoto lens:



[...]

Generally, they're comparable at the center of the image, but the Tamron sharpness falls off significantly toward the corners when used at the telephoto end of the zoom range. This matches my observations.



As with all non-stabilized telephoto lenses, you really need a fast shutter speed to overcome camera shake at the far end of the telephoto range. I find that 1/320s or faster is generally adequate with this lens, but due to the narrow aperture requirement (f/6.3) at 250mm, it means that you really need a lot of light to take an effective telephoto shot at ISO 100. Since I take mostly landscapes, that's not normally an issue. If I were more into wildlife or people photography, however, it definitely would be.



[...]



I compared it specifically with this review of the EF-S 18-55 to convince myself that I wouldn't be losing any quality or functionality at the wide angle end of the zoom:

[...]



I'm not sure if I agree with their vignetting tests, though. I personally think the vignetting is worse with the Tamron.



All in all, the Tamron 18-250mm lens is a good travel lens and is an excellent choice for the back country, where weight is a major issue but a 3x zoom just won't capture everything you want. It takes great shots up to about the 150mm range and OK shots beyond this (tripod strongly recommended for 200mm and above.) I've taken great candid portraits and wildlife photos with it, although neither is really this lens' strength. In general, it's not going to give you the same results as a professional lens, but for those who need to travel light, it would be hard to find a better lens for the same weight.

 "LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!" 2009-09-10
By Another Shopper (San Diego, CA)
I am so happy with this lens. It is everything I need all in one handy little package. Great for everyday shots at 18mm, then extends to fabulous zoom capability at 250 mm. It is only slightly less a lens than my Canon 300mm, but so much easier to have on my camera.



Images are sharp, crisp and clear. I don't know when I'll need to get another lens!

 "Great Product" 2010-01-21
By Mary E. Koral
This was purchased as a Christmas present. My daughter needed this lens to improve her photography and is extremely happy with it. It was what she wanted and needed and is using it and loving it.

 "A Fantastic Lens for the Price" 2010-01-10
By S. N. Mayfield (Eugene, OR USA)
I didn't buy this lens from Amazon but I do own it. It's a great telephoto lens and I've been really happy with the picture quality. My only gripe is that I wish it had a stabilizer. Even with that's only slightly dim, like that of a cloudy day for example, causes the photos to sometimes be blurred because the lens is long and heavy, so small movement can cause blurring. It isn't impossible to use without a tripod, though. It's an extremely good lens for the price, that's for sure. Overall I'm very satisfied with it!

 "Cannon EF 75-300mm lens" 2009-10-29

The lens was everything I had hoped it would be. I take pictures of my kids' soccer games. It allows me to get up close and personal and gives me great action shots.

 "Was free with the deal I did, but..." 2009-10-27
By Moo (Mad city, Wisconsin)
I got it free with my new camera, but I wish I sold it and bought a 55-250mm with IS or a 18-200mm with IS. They are much more expensive, but I hate having to remove it to put on a 18-55mm IS lens for indoor or closer range things. I can't complain too much since it was free. It's just that to fit in my camera case well this must be attached and in most cases I need to remove it and grab my other lens to take a picture. Not a bad lens, but you may get annoyed when you want to switch back and forth like me. Don't let this review deter you from buying it, I just had to put my two cents in.

 "It was good enough for me." 2009-10-27
By Daigo (Detroit, MI)
I have EOS Revel T1i, and very very beginner. That being said: I have 10-22mm ultra-wide, and 18-55mm standard zoom, and they are both fine, but I just wanted a lens that goes above 55mm.

So here it is. I do not have any complain about the picture quality so far, I just wanted to see what 300mm is like, and its definitely a different world, and I am happy to know that. USM is pretty nice too, so you may want to spend a few more bucks on it to get it. My standard zoom lens has standard motor and its slow and noisy. Anyway, I got what I expected, and again, I am happy.

 "excellent entry-level macro conversion lens" 2009-12-29
By White Dynamite (The 508, Massachusetts, USA)
Works very well with Canon Rebel XS as a conversion lens, allowing my novice photographer daughter to experiment with macro shots without having to invest significantly more $$$ in an actual Canon macro lens. My 5-star rating is based on understanding what this lens is and having realistic expectations for what it is capable of.

 "Just as promised..." 2009-05-07
By Lisa A. Lanier
The product works well; the lens delivered just like the description and other reviewers said it would. Though you have to physically get closer and farther from the subject, and while auto-focus features may mar its effectiveness, it works fine. The only problem I ran into was that the images would come out circular rather than rectangular (?).

 "great product for the price" 2008-10-08

This macro lens attaching to an existing lens works well and has an exceedingly low price. Of course it is not a dedicated macro lens. But because it is easy to carry (small) and so inexpensive and of good quality it is a bargain.

 "good, but not works" 2008-09-10
By E. Mariani (brazil)
its a very good product, but if you are thinking this will work with your macro lens, forget it... the closed it's too small and F have to be very high to see something and the focus area is too small.

 "Great value, works as expected" 2010-02-12
By William Hobbs (Atlanta, GA USA)
Feels well made, quality of the machining looks good. It locks firmly to my Nikon lens (100mm F2.8 E AIS), and attaches well to the Canon body (20D). There is a small amount of rotational play in the connection to the body, but I only notice it when I am looking for it.



As I expected from reading reviews in different places, it is a little thinner than it should be, so it allows the lens to focus a little bit past infinity, but I do not consider it a serious problem.



I was interested in purchasing some older manual focus lenses (specifically the 100mm) because they were significantly cheaper than a modern AF lens with optics of similar quality. For this purpose, the adapter is great. I have read that you can get similar adapters on Ebay for a little less money, but I would much rather stick with the reputation of Amazon and Fotodiox for a few bucks.



If you are in need of an adapter because you cannot get the lens you want in an EOS mount, but you would be spending $500+ on a lens, you might consider a higher quality adapter. For example, my brother has a 5D and several L lenses, and recently bought an anamorphic lens for work in film school. It came with the Fotodiox F to EOS adapter on it, but he will be upgrading to a higher quality adapter, as saving $50-100 on an adapter is not worth even a small sacrifice in quality for what he does.

 "Bad, bad, bad!" 2010-02-03
By Trim Damage (Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada)
I just bought one from Ebay. It costs me only $12. I believe it was made in China. I was so excited to receive it, and eager to try it on my Canon 40D camera with my Nikon AF-S 300mm ED IF lens. It worked poorly --- the image turned out blurred. I was a bit disappointed. I blamed on the poor design. But when I tried to remove the lens from the camera, the adapter and the lens got stuck firmly together. I looked at the adapter and the lens, praying that I could separate the two pieces by hand with all my might, I failed. I started to panic. I said to myself "what a waste (swearing a bit inevitably) --- a cheap $12 third party adapter permanently attaches to a $1000+ beautiful Nikon lens!!!". Next, I used a small screw driver to press on a little black hook that came with the adapter. Fortunately, I managed to separate the adapter from the lens. This lesson teaches me never use a third party product on any camera again. I literally wrote that on the box containing the adapter, fearing that another victim may be trapped. Night mare...I am still sweating...

 "OK for 1 day" 2010-01-30
By George Griffin (NYC)
It did seem too good to be true. Novoflex wants $270 for its adapter. Fotodiox has a "Pro" version ($90) which I've just ordered, thanks to Amazon's returns policy. The problem is the loose fit: tight on the Canon body but loose on all my Nikon lenses. It doesn't bother other users but it's just not acceptable for precision work on a fixed mount or hand-held.

 "Perfect camera lens adapter" 2009-12-08
By John Cote (West Palm Beach, Fl)
The adapter fit exactly right and allowed the use of all my Nikon F-2A lenses on the Canon Digital. Saved me a fortune in new lenses at an unbelievably cheap price.

Buy Cheap Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras From Here Now!
Sigma launched first standard 50mm Macro lens in 1990. This was succeeded by the 50mm F2.8 EX Macro in 1998 which proved even more popular with photographers, benefiting from improved build and optical quality. The advent of digital SLRs requires optimum lens performance and therefore the very latest optical technology has been incorporated in the production of the New Macro 50mm F2.8 EX DG. This ideal standard lens sets the benchmark for digital SLR cameras. The new advanced lens design corrects various aberrations. This macro lens is specially coated to get the best color balance whilst cutting down ghost caused by reflections from the digital image sensor. This lens provides the utmost correction against lateral chromatic aberration which is a serious problem for digital SLR cameras.

 "Good resolution but focussing slips" 2010-02-22
By caleb
I actually own two of these lenses, I'm pairing them with 5D MKII bodies and doing copy work on a copy stand. The edge to edge sharpness is good, build quality nice, I'm getting my best results at F11. Unfortunately using copy stands the focus slips after a short period which is frustrating. I haven't had the need to use the auto focus but just playing it does seem quite loud. Looking back my have sprung for some Zeiss lenses but overall the sigma is a great value just exactly right for my needs. 3.5 would be my rating if I could go in halves

 "Great first macro lens" 2010-02-04
By E. Islo
This is the first lens i have purchased for my Canon Rebel Xs. It works great and is super easy to use. I love that it comes with a hood. Often the hood isn't included and a flimsy piece of plastic from canon can cost upwards to $20. The only thing i don't like is that the hood can't be on for the lens cap to fit on the lens. you have to unscrew the hood to replace the cap. Not the end of the world though. I have a Sigma 35mm camera and it has rock solid construction. This lens matches that same quality.

 "Love it!" 2010-01-11
By Marcy Hogan (San Jose, CA)
I have a Canon EOS 30D that I've owned for about 2 years. I've been wanting a macro lens for a while, but have had a hard time justifying the cost... especially since I originally had my eye on Canon's 100mm macro. Then someone suggested this Sigma lens to me, and I noticed that all the reviews were incredible. I was nervous about going with a 3rd party lens, but the price was right and the reviews gave me confidence. And also, I preferred the 50mm focal point vs Canon's 100mm (makes it a more versatile lens, in my opinion).



So then this christmas my dad gave me money to buy the lens, and I've only had it a few days now but I am already in love! This lens is wonderful-- the look and feel are good, and it takes GORGEOUS photos both close-up and otherwise. I've simply been using manual focus for close-up shots, but I've been very surprised at how fast the AF is (with the limitor switch on). It really is almost instantaneous, which is awesome. I think even faster than my other lenses (Canon 50mm f/1,8, Canon 17-85mm).



I borrowed my friend's 100mm macro lens last year, and honestly I don't see a significant quality difference between the two (though I am also not a pro, so may not have a critical enough eye for that sort of thing). Basically, I am VERY happy with this lens, right out of the box. The photos are gorgeous, razor sharp at the focus points, beautiful bokeh elsewhere, colors are very pretty, etc etc etc. This is a great alternative to more expensive macros. I actually wonder if this will replace my "nifty fifty" as my favorite lens... we'll see. ; )

 "Good service" 2009-11-25

Good service. Didnt hear from vendor regarding order initially however they provided me with tracking details and it made it to me just in time.



Thanks!

 "Superb lens for a superb camera" 2009-08-17
By James L. Frimmer
Not only am I completely satisfied with this lens, but the price was excellent and the shipping the same. I saw the "buy within the next 14 minutes and receive next day" tag and I would have paid just about anything to get it the next day. As it was I think the shipping fee was $21.95 for next day service, and since I know when the UPS guy comes by my street, I made sure I was home at that time. He showed up six minutes early that day.



My next goal is something like a 600 mm or 1200 mm macro lens.
