I was fairly happy with it on my T3i, but realized I wasn't using the higher end, which as mentioned, isn't that sharp anyway.
So now I have a Canon EF-S 18-135 for landscapes and the EF 70-300 for a little more reach. Both are sharper and I love them.
As for changing lenses, I decided to get another t3i body, lol. That's my camera gear budget for the next 5 years :)

How much of a drop off in IQ did you experience with the Sigma lens? Were any of your shots above 200 mm salvageable?
I do a lot of shots at 100 meters+. I really don't want to get up close to a Cape Buffalo or a Lion or a hungry gator for that matter.

This Sigma is the lens that stays on my 70D 90% of the time. I have been happy with both its build and optical quality.
Thanks for you feedback. Looks like I will have to feed the piggy bank a little longer to get this lens.

Right now I have an EF-S 18-55 mm IS and an EF 70-300mm II lens for my T4i. I take mostly wildlife photos in my backyard, in the Everglades or while on vacation. My old hands shake too much to get a good long shot with the telelphoto zoom at the long end and I don't like changing lenses on a game drive or in a canoe. So, I have been looking at the Canon EF-S 55-250 mm IS STM lens to minimize the necessity to change lenses and reduce the motion blur.
I came across this Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC (OS)* MACRO HSM in almost the same price range. Has anyone used this lens? What about Sigma on a Canon body? Any real world advice would be appreciated.

Please pardon my lack of etiquette for not knowing how to post a general acknowledgement to all of your kind welcome messages.
Thank you for your good wishes. I hope that I can pick up at least a few tips that would apply to would-be photogs on a pretty strict budget.

Hello, all. I am a retired road warrior trying to resume an old hobby. My first camera was a Kodak Brownie way back when. My first slr was a Pentax film camera with a fixed lens when I was a teenager. My first SLR with interchangeable lenses was a Minolta. I have had a few digital P&S cameras over the years. I stepped up to a dslr about two years ago.
