This is a compact zoom lens with a large aperture. With an overall length of 84.7mm, it is the smallest zoom lens in its class?. It is capable of taking pictures at close quarters, with a minimum focusing distance of 38cm at all focal lengths and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5.8. It is a very effective lens for close-up photography."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/sigma2460.jpg" /><br /><br />This compact zoom lens is designed to be fast and provide a good zoom range for DSLR users. For comparison's sake, this lens would map to a 36 - 90 mm field of view on a Nikon or 38 - 96 mm on a Canon DSLR. Sigma also claims it has excellent correction for vignetting. Cool.
