from www.fotoobchod.cz Summary: Sorry for my english.
My SIGMA AF 28-200 DL ASP is older version with 72mm filter diam. I use this lens with my Nikon F70 and i was satisfied with it´s range and price. However, i find that my lens are after 5 years broken. Focusing ring moves not smothly by manual focusing, manual focus is practically impossible; by switching to AF works relatively good. In addition, i have not sharp pictures now. I must go to service and repair.
After i bought this lens 5 years ago, pictures are good sharp, not very sharp, but enough for me. This is good lens in you travel often. Good cooperate with my SB27 Speedligh flash, pictures with flash and this lens are very good. Not good for architecture, barell distortion at the end of range is heavy. Moving out the lens if you are the SLR overhand is not pleasant.
Generally i think, for 5 years, this is good, not so good lens for family and travel photography, not if you want very sharp and no distorted images.
After service i will sell it a replaced with standard zoom 28-70(80)f/2,8. Strengths: Price, range, hood included. Weaknesses: Heavy, barell distortion at ends, not very sharp, flare, small DOF. Similar Products Used: Not used Customer Service: I need repair wrong function of manual focusing ring. I have no practice with service.
