Sigma introduced this lens in 2009, as an upgrade to its 18-200mm lens. The lens comes in Sigma, Canon, Nikon, and Pentax mounts, and it includes optical stabilization (as denoted by the "OS" in the lens' title).

A nice alternative to a Nikon lens
Great image result for an APS-C style of camera. Used extensively on a major holiday in Europe the lens proved itself. The only downside is 'lens creep' as set in and the 'lock' must be placed on at all times if the camera is facing towards the ground when being carried.
Pros:
- Easy to use
Cons:
- Build quality

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.

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.
