Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM review by Nikoboyd
Very convenient lens. Get this one with my 500D is a nice combo. No need to change between the 17-55 IS and 70-200 L as before. I can leave the two lenses at home and travel light with only one lens. IQ is OK.
Pros:
- Very useful zoom range
- fast and near silent focus
- reasonably sharp from 18-80 mm
Cons:
- Very convenient lens
- Get this one with my 500D is a nice combo
- No need to change between the 17-55 IS and 70-200 L as before.

The new Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM differs from Sigma's earlier 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM lens in that it's physically smaller and lighter, it has better macro capability and it uses sigma's TSC (thermally stable composite) material which minimizes the effect of temperature on the...
