About this lens

The Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM is a third-party all-in-one superzoom for Canon APS-C (EF-S compatible) DSLRs. Covers a wide-to-telephoto 11.1x range with Sigma's OS stabilisation and HSM silent autofocus - a common choice for travel where one lens has to cover everything.

Build & handling

Works with

• Canon EF-S APS-C DSLRs (Rebel series, 7D, 80D, 90D, etc.)
• Not designed for Canon EF full-frame DSLRs (DC is APS-C only)
• Canon RF APS-C mirrorless (R7, R10, R50) via EF-EOS R adapter

Best for

A third-party travel superzoom for Canon APS-C DSLRs. One lens covers landscape, street, portrait and light wildlife reach - optical compromises come with any 11.1x zoom, but OS stabilisation and HSM silent AF make it a genuinely practical single-lens kit. Sigma DC means APS-C only - won't mount/work correctly on Canon full-frame.

Frequently asked questions

Will it work on a Canon full-frame DSLR like the 5D?

Not fully. Sigma DC lenses are designed for APS-C coverage - on a full-frame body you'll get heavy vignetting at the wide end.

Does this lens have image stabilisation?

Yes - Sigma's OS system, roughly equivalent to 4 stops of shake reduction.

Will it work on Canon RF mirrorless bodies?

No. Canon EF-S lenses do not mount on RF mirrorless bodies. Consider an RF-S lens (for APS-C RF bodies) or a full-frame EF lens with the EF-EOS R adapter instead.
