Hey everyone, fairly new here.
I've been actively involved in digital photography as a hobby and semi-profitable activity for about 2.5 years now, and have recently upgraded my Canon DSLR to the new T2i. (Thoroughly enjoyable) I have the standard 18-55mm kit lens, a Canon 70-300mm, and a Sigma 10-20mm wide-angle lens all in my possession. For my next lens, I'm interested in acquiring a versatile "walkaround" lens so i don't need to tote around a gear bag everywhere, with a bonus of keeping my Rebel with me everywhere.
So. My considerations currently are the
Tamron AF 18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Zoom Lens
and the
Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC AF OS (Optical Stabilizer) Zoom Lens
I can't post links as of yet, but I will update this post ASAP with links to Amazon and any other relevant product pages.
So, photographers, what lens would you recommend? They're both relatively similar, Canon compatible, very similar in price, consumer rating, and functionality. I will be buying one of these two, and I'm looking for some other photographers advice. What do you think?
