Hello. I've been scouring zoom lens reviews for about the past 5 days now and am lost. First, what I'm looking for:
- Lens somewhere between 18-200mm (at least 28-135mm)
- APS-C (Canon) compatible
- IS, USM, and low F-stop are nice of course (particularly Image Stabilization)
- Max. price $500-600
(My main priority would be sharpness.) I've read a lot of reviews and am really confused. Here's my question: Any "standout" lenses with these characteristics? Every single lens seems to score a 4/5 overall. The lenses on my list so far are:
- Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
- Canon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 EF-S IS
- Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS
