    This lens is a perfect walk around lens for traveling. It's got the focal length of your standard kit lens all the way up to a telephoto. It's heavier than I expected but still great for walking around when traveling.

    This is a great do it all lens at an excellent price. The 18-250 range is perfect to allow you to travel with just one lens. It feels like a very solidly built product. It feels a bit heavier than I expected but isn't too heavy. My only issue is the lens drifting fully extended as you carry it around. It locks in the 18mm position which does help and you adjust to keeping your hand on the zoom ring if you're leaning over taking a picture. It's a slight annoyance until you adjust but minor compared to the convenience of traveling with one lens. It works great with my Canon SL1.

    I always wanted a lens at this price range with a macro feature so when it went on a bargain closeout sale I took the bait and didn't regret it. I have a Tamron 18-200 and it doesn't do macro plus this lens is sharper. Since this is an older lens be aware that if you use it on a Canon mirrorless camera such as the RP it will vignette badly especially on video mode. It's okay otherwise on the 1.6x setting. I will be using this on my M50 with adapter of course

    After using this Sigma and comparing it to my friends camera that I borrowed with a more expensive lens on it I saw no difference in the quality of the video footage.... So if your looking to save money but not compromise on quality then this is the lens for you!

    This is the only lens that has been on my camera since I bought it. The range and quality of the lens is so great that I can't imagine not having it. I love that I can go from 18 to 250 on a moment's notice and always be ready to capture the image that I need.

    Excellent lens, excellent quality. Covers all bases. The only "negatives" is it is a little heavier and a little longer that the standard 18mm to 55mm lens. The camera just makes it into the LOWEPRO carrying case. I highly recommend this lens.

    Since I feel a bit green when it comes to dslr cameras, I rely heavily on my more experienced friends for advice. They recommended this lens in place of the two separate lenses (an 18-55 and a 55-250) that came with the [Canon] camera. The advantage, of course, is not having to constantly switch them, unless you have a specialty lens you want to use. Now that I have had this one for a couple months or so, I can also recommend it. Happy shooting!

    Sure wish this lens came with the camera. It is the only one you will need. It works great for near and far. Worth the money.

    This lens does a great job for those times you need to continuously go from close ups to wide frames. Perfect for my grand kids gymnastics, swimming and dancing events.

    I loved this new lens for my Canon Rebel T3i. Image stabilization is a great feature. It allows me to take awesome pictures near or far without changing lenses.
