Meets my needs

I shoot 1300 automotive photos each week and put them on line - It has been a welcome change to the EFS-18-55mm

Great as an all purpose lens. I like the markings on the lens, vivid, clear and easy to read.

Nice Lens at a Great Price

This lens is much better than the canon consumer lenses in my opinion. It may have a slight front focusing issue and if it does I'll send it back to sigma for an adjustment or use it as an excuse to upgrade to the 50D with micro adjustment instead of sending it back to the retailer so everyone else can take the time and expense of correcting a common problem with most lenses.

Pretty good walkaround lens.

In my opinion, this is a pretty good compromise between the short zoom like the 18-55 and the long superzooms like the 18-250. Image quality is very good from 18-90mm, with great sharpness and color. Past 90mm it takes a pretty good hit on sharpness and you will want to stop down to f8-10 for best results. Focus is pretty good - faster than the kit zooms, but not like Canon ring USM. Construction is excellent. All-in-all a good lens for everyday walkaround and travel. 125mm is longer than it sounds and should be more than enough reach for everything but wildlife and sports.

About Sigma 18-125mm

The Sigma 18-125mm F3.8-5.6 DC OS HSM is a high ratio zoom lens which is designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras

This compact high zoom ratio lens incorporates Sigma's original OS (Optical Stabilizer) function. This system uses two sensors inside the lens to detect vertical andhorizontal movement of the camera and works by moving an optical image stabilizing lens group to effectively compensate for camera shake. It offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower.

It is the ideal lens for several type of photography such as wide-angle, telephoto and close-up. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass, a molded glass aspherical lens and two hybrid aspherical lenses provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. The super multi-layer coating reduces flare and ghosting. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range.

This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 35cm (13.8") at all focal lengths, and has maximum magnification of 1:3.8, making it ideal for close-up photography. This lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), which ensures a quiet and high-speed autofocus.
