sigma is the cheapest of the bunch, btw. . .$369 is a steal compared to $500-600 for Tamron or Tokina. . .

Is there a difference in IQ between the HSM version and non-HSM of the Sigma 18-50?
What's worth noting is that it is not at all a macro lens, so trying to focus on things nearby can cause it trouble.
Im pretty much in the same situation, I cant decide if I go for the tamron or the sigma....
As to getting the sigma with HSM, im rolling on a Canon mount, and there are only a HSM version for Nikon mounts....
HELP !!!
The sigma is $370 ($450 CAD) and tamron $420 ($520) on BH and over the internet. Im buying on the internet cause here in Canada its like $650 + 15% taxes for those lens retail...
I would go for the Sigma, but after reading Jerry's post I am in the lost once more.
The one that you want is the Sigma 18-50 F/2.8 DC EX HSM MACRO. Don't waste money on the other ones. They've been discontinued now for a touch over 2 years.
