Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Summary: I like it at the wide end
Review: For comparison I've used the Canon 28-135 IS, the Tokina 24-200 (I know, junk), the Canon 28/2.8, Canon 50/1.8, and Canon 18-55 EFS.

The Sigma 18-125 is very good at the wide end, much better color and sharpness than the Canon 18-55, in my opinion (but that's not saying so very much either).

At the telephoto end, there is not as much contrast as you would hope, but the colors and sharpness are pretty good.

I like this lens at the wide angle, and that's what I use it for. I find I don't use telephoto so much any more, and I'm not sure I'd use this lens if I did. The 28-135 with its IS system is much better.

The 28-135 was not wide enough for me, plus it is heavy and large, so the 18-125 is my current walk-around lens. I trade off between it and the 28/2.8.

My next lens will probably be the Sigma 18-50/2.8.
