I am getting so tired of changing out my 28-90 and 70-300 general purpose lenses. I have read the the Sigma and Tamron 28-300 lenses are slow to focus? Does anyone have either and what are your recommendations. Thanks!

Image quality is't that great either. Buy a sigma 70-200 f2.8 instead. 7D, 40D, 20D, S5is, canon: 100-400LIS, 70-200 f2.8L, 18-55 EFS, 17-55 f2.8 IS EFS, 28-135 IS, 70-300 f4-5.6 IS, 50 f1.4, 85 f1.8, 135 f2.0; sigma: 24-70 EX DG macro; tokina: 10-17 fisheye; 580EX II, 430EX

I find it a good walk round lens and my copy is NOT slow to focus at all, pretty quick actually. Certainly (in low light) as fast as my canon 70-200L F/4 . I have used it on my 30D and Rebel xt.
