I have been searching but just can't find any good info on this lens, for Canon crop Bodies.
I am new to the game, trying to stay on the cheap, can't be helped.
I am wanting a cheap yet decent zoom lens to do short range outdoor wildlife, and some
close up people shots.
I have almost surely decided on the canon 55-250 efs IS, based on several recommendations, but seeing that the Sigma 55-200 DC OS HSM is going for $159 with free shipping on amazon, and buy.com both, I am sorely tempted to save myself $150. Is there something wrong with this lens that i can find so few examples of it's work online? Pixel peepers has nothing and even flikr has only a few dozen shots.
a bit confused
Is there anyone here who can give me a positive report on this?
OR should I just find myself a nice used 55-250 IS and go from there.
