i see comparisons and posts all over the place for the sigma vs the tamron lens, but not much that directly compares them to the kit lens (the lens they are usually replacing).
I had planned to buy a T2i body and get either the sigma or tamron, but came across a good used deal on the camera that came with the 18-55 kit lens. I am now wondering if i would notice that much of a difference with the upgrade, it seems the main advantage of those third party lenses is the f/2.8 and maybe a better overall build quality... but how about the actual glass and image quality it produces? I have the canon 50mm 1.8 so if the f/2.8 is biggest difference i may just hold onto the kit lens.
