Which lens is better?

[ignatiusjk]

I'm looking to get either a Tamron 18-250 or a Sigma 18-250.Which lens is better? I generally shoot landscapes.I'd love to get a Canon lens but their way to expensive.I use a Canon eos T1i. Thanks.

Both the Sigma and the Tamron are expensive and they aren't that great. The reason is a lens with such a great range, from wide angle to 14x telephoto, is hard to manufacture. There is a cheaper and better alternative. I assume you have the standard 18-55mm Canon lens which I assume you think is inadequate for shooting landscapes because it doesn't have a sufficiently long zoom. What about the Canon 55-250mm, which is a pretty good lens and cheap?

I can second the recommendation for the Canon 55-250mm. I actually got one for Christmas and I am in love with it already. Great deal, too, in my opinion. Canon is the way to go, if you can do it.

I would get ta Canon. After the Canon I would pick Sigma as second! Tamron....? Not really.
