im sure the lens is the same with canon and nikon.. only the mount is different plus you have a 2x crop factor.. very good for telephoto..

It actually depends on the lens model. There are Sigma lenses that are good quality, but expensive. The reverse is true. You really get what you pay for. Cheap Sigma lenses can be soft. I've also heard about quality control issues.

Cheers,
Norman

re-phrase ko lng sinabi ko.. pati ako nagulohan.. the lens on sigma on particular model with canon or nikon mount is also the same with 4/3 mount just with 2x factor... hehehe
look for the particular lens muna na available sa 4/3 mount then search this site

I've been using the Sigma 55-200mm, and i'm very pleased with the results. Use it mostly for portraits and maganda ang colors and sharp siya. I heard some are lemon pieces, buti na lang yung akin, I think, ok naman...
