sigma vs tamron

[Iwant2BAprincess]

Ok, so I am looking at both the sigma 18-200 and the tamron 18-200 on a canon-does anyone have any experience with either of these lenses that they could share???? Good, bad or ugly I would love some reallife feedback

If you want to add a few MM's I have the Sigma 18-250. EVERY picture in my recent trip report was taken with that lens

I have no "real life feedback" but if you look at the lens comparison sites both those lens are significantly worse than the cheap $150 Canon 55-250IS. If you want a wide focal range telephoto lens with good image quality look at the Tamron 18-270mm VC
