    Overview

    The Sigma DC 55-200 mm f/4-5.6 is a budget telephoto zoom for APS-C sensors, offering a lightweight build (310g) and metal mount. Optical performance is best at the telephoto end and when stopped down to f/11-f/16, with poor-to-average sharpness at wide apertures. Chromatic aberrations are well controlled, but contrast is slightly lacking. Autofocus is audible and slower than HSM versions. It suits beginners or budget-conscious users seeking an affordable telephoto zoom.
