Description — Sigma 18-250mm F/3.5-6.3
The Sigma 18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM is an all-in-one zoom lens designed for APS-C format DSLR cameras. Its 18–250mm focal length range spans from wide-angle to telephoto, making it a go-to single-lens solution for photographers covering diverse subjects without carrying multiple optics. The lens opens to a maximum aperture of f/3.5 at the wide end, transitioning to f/6.3 at 250mm. Optical image stabilization is built in to help manage camera shake during handheld use across the zoom range.
The lens features both autofocus and manual focus capability, accommodating a range of shooting styles and situations. With a 62mm filter thread, it accepts a standard range of screw-in filters. The lens tips the scale at 470g, a manageable weight for the focal coverage it provides.
