About this model
The Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM is a do-it-all superzoom for Canon APS-C DSLRs. Its 11x zoom range covers wide-angle to telephoto, making it ideal for travel, events and everyday shooting when you want to carry just one lens. Optical Stabilisation (OS) helps reduce camera shake for sharper handheld photos, while the Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) provides fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override. As a DC lens, it is designed for APS-C sensors and will not fill a full-frame image circle. The lens is compact and lightweight for its class, and offers a minimum focusing distance of 0.45m for close-up work.
