Great Product
I bought this as a general purpose lens for my D90. I had been using a Nikon Nikkor 28-80mm lens. This is a huge upgrade for me in picture clarity and zoom. OS works great and there isn't much zoom creep as is complained in some review on the web. I am very happy.

Pros:

- Pleasing bokeh
- Excellent sharpness at the telephoto reach

Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM Zoom Lens
The perfect lens for those wishing they didn't have to change lenses all the time. We bought this to replace our two lenses and it worked out nicely. Takes perfect pictures and is easy to operate. Would recommend this to anyone.
