Three months ago I would have scoffed if somebody suggested the Sigma 18-125 as a good solution for any purpose. Nill Toulme's sample photos got me thinking that maybe it really was worth looking into. When I stumbled across a chance to buy one for $100 less than they usually go for, I jumped on it, figuring I could sell it for at least what I got it for if it failed to impress me. I still own it, and would be willing to pay the regular B&H price to replace it tomorrow if it fell off a cliff.
It is not a replacement for my shorter-range Canon zooms and primes, and based on what I've seen here on the forums the image quality of the Tamron 28-75 is better. But the Tamron isn't really a wide angle on a 1.6x camera, and it doesn't go as long either. They're lenses that serve different purposes. For a do-it-all zoom, it's a wonderful lens and the price is definitely right. When I'm going out with a specific photographic goal in mind, I use the best lens for the specific job. When I want to travel light, the Sigma 18-125 is perfect. A great range of useful focal lengths, and image quality that's more than adequate for such outings.
