18-50mm lenses

[Wingman]

I have liked my Tamron since I bought it, the only question was the length, so I picked up the Tamron 28-75 to see which I prefer and ended up keeping both of them.

I don't think you can go wrong with the Tamron, although I have never used the Sigma.

I still think you will need the 1.8 that comes with the 50 as well.

So what you are saying is that I should buy them both

Well, I pulled the trigger on this lens finally. Only had it for a day now but so far I like it. I will say that the focus motor is louder than what I am used to. Louder than any Sigma or Canon lens that I own. The images seem to be great though. I will take some more later on and get a real good feel for it.

Yep. That is really the only place I go for camera gear. I don't shop around too much. Usually, Amazon uses prices from quite a few dealers to determine the price you will pay. In this case, I got it direct from Amazon, but have had stuff ship from Adorama and other places with my Amazon orders before. Have never had a problem and the price is usually right in line with everyone else. I'm sure that with extensive shopping around, I could find it cheaper, BUT I would caution against anyone who finds prices that seem TOO cheap and from dealers they have never heard of.

Thanks. I always order my camera stuff from Amazon but figured that I would double check
