Sigma 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 Aspherical IF Macro

I use this lens from 2015 on a canon eos 1000d body(apsc); my almost always on lens for wide range focal lengths; used as a "fixed" f8 zoom; used always manual focus with central focus point camera confirmation; used almist always as a 28mm normal prime (45mm in 35mm terms) with a 200mm tele and portrait lens ready to use without lens change; for close portraiture is at best: background blur is more than sufficient and beauty also at f8 when at 200mm; still some aberration and softness if used as tele (resolution on digital is the same as for other more modern superzoom as 18-200, 18-250 and so on, not comparable with professional canon L serie lenses but still comparable to the cheapest 70-300); complemented with the 10-18 for full coverage on vacation and trips; not for events and fast requirenents photography; paid 120 euro in 2015; recomended for the above descripted uses; ccompatoble with fullframe cameras.
