    Sigma's new 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM is designed as an all-in-one lens for digital photographers with APS-C-sized (DX) sensors who don't want to carry more than one lens. Covering focal lengths ranging from the 35mm equivalent of 27mm to 375mm with most camera brands (28.8mm to 400mm on Canon bodies) it offers a 13.8 times zoom ratio. A built-in Hybrid Optical Stabiliser is provides for shake reduction in both shots and the viewfinder image. Read more

So instead of taking the two Canon 18-55 and 55-250 lenses, I chose the single Sigma 18-250. Read more

  • Manufacturer's Description

A superzoom lens such as this one is prone to a great deal of image degradation, but Sigma compensates for this effect by incorporating four Special Low Dispersion glass elements, super multi-layer coating, and three aspherical lens elements into the lens design.
