Review on Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM IF Lens: Enhanced Performance for Sony Digital SLR Cameras by Brandon Hilton

I have had this lens for 6 months and use it with the Canon T2i for holidays and business trips family events. The lens construction is robust and of high quality. The stabilizer and HSM work fantastic. The image quality is of course very good considering the typical limitations of a lens with such a wide focal range. I have some doubts about going there instead to buy the Tamron 18-270mm but now I am sure it is the best choice because of HSM and image quality I recommend it as a very useful lens for general use I have read some comments about the soft image quality of this lens , but that wasn't my thing because I got acceptably sharp pictures over the entire zoom range.I can do it really recommend because of the price, the quality, the features (IS and HSM) and also because Canon doesn't offer an alternative at the moment that covers all these features. I compared this lens to the Canon EFS 18-135 IS at 18 and 135 focal lengths and found no noticeable difference. Both lenses take sharp pictures.
