Good all around lens
General uses inside and outside. Scenery and people, portraits, etc. Only reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars is the need to switch off Auto focus, in order to manual focus, unlike Canon USM lenses. Also it stops down to 5.6 sooner than Canon's 18-135.
Pros:
- Comes with Hood
- Compact When Retracted
- Great zoom range
- Light Weight
- Quiet
Cons:
- Manual Focus Is Switched
- Slower Ap Than Desired

A Great All Round Lens.
I brought this lens to use as an all in one on holiday because I did not want to be laden with all different lenses, the only other one I took was a wide angle for special land scape and night images or though the 18-250 would have worked too but just needed to take that one other special lens.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Quick Focus
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction

Good All Rounder
Since this is an all rounder lens, don't expect the sharpness of a prime lens. It works good, but care has to be taken to click without chromatic aberration. Not as sharp as Nikkor but that is not gonna be a real issue.

Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM
Photographers often have to compromise when it comes to third-party lenses, particularly ones that cover such extreme focal lengths as the 18-250mm. This Sigma model is excellent value for money, offering good sharpness and performance, with a lengthy zoom.
Pros:
- Very lightweight and compact
- Pleasing bokeh
- Excellent sharpness at the telephoto reach
Cons:
- No manual focus override in AF mode

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

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 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.
