Sigma’s New 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 Is All Kinds of Stable

Posted on February 1, 2009 - Filed Under News, Photo | Visited 181 Times

If you’re a Sony or Pentax user and you’ve been hoping for an optically stabilized lens then you should be clapping your shaky hands in happiness right now. The 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM lens offers image stabilization in both the camera body and the lens. There are also models that fit Canon, Nikon and Sigma bodies without the extra IS. All mounts of the DC use four low-dispersion elements and three aspherical lens elements to help cut down on the distortion that can sneak into the longer focal lengths of these wide-range zooms. Pan down for the rest of the details.
