SIGMA 18-250MM DC MACRO OS CANON
The title is a little misleading. It is the latest version of the lens, not the one with the 72mm filter. If this is what you want, it is nicely packaged, it includes three filters with magnification for close-up photo the bag and the protection petal. Hope this helped.

Pros:
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Lightweight
- Strong Construction

- Inconsistent Focus Issues

Good all-rounder lens.
Had some pleasing results on an old EOS 350 and new 1300. Very useful zoom range and saves on lens swaps for most general situations. Build quality seems OK. The lock function is required as will creep when carried without it on - no real problem and expect really with it's impressive range.

Not so good cheap lightweight low end. You get what you pay for.
I'm very sorry but this lens is terrible. The sharpness was horrific especially at each end of zooming but macro and extended top 250. Maybe because I'm using a very new Canon (T7i) but this did not produce good images. Perhaps mine got damaged but I kind of doubt that it was broken.

I use this little gem of a lens whenever I travel. Like all super zooms, it has compromises, but the main one of reduced apertures, is compensated for by the high ISO capability of modern cameras. The longest focal length is also very useful for nature and macro shots.
Pros:
- Light
- compact
- sharp
- fast focus
- very usable focal range
Cons:
- No full-time manual focus
- though I seldom use this on other lenses

Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC SLD OS HSM Review
Sigma's lens was tested here using a Canon EOS 40D, on which it focused reasonably quickly (but not remarkably so) and very reliably. Sadly, but not unusually for a lens of this type, the focusing ring rotates and there is no option to apply adjustments when the lens is set to AF mode.
Pros:
- Effective optical stabilisation
Cons:
- Focusing ring rotates in AF
