I'm using the Sigma 18-125mm F3.5-5.6 DC. I guess it serves my purpose and I do agree it's a not bad walkaround lens. Dun have to change the lens too much to my 70-300mm. I guess you really have to ask yourself if it's good enough for you or not and what is your requirement and expectation. If you want wide and tele, you can also consider the 18-200mm (tamron) though 18-125 is already good.

I have the 18-125mm DC as a stop-gap lens until got $$$ to buy a better lens.
The most annoying thing about it is the lens creep. You CANNOT carry it without locking it. The lens will DEFINITELY extend to its max length ;(

Mine doesn't have this problem though... :think:

No lens creep on mine too... :)
Mine is sharp wide open hahaha.... ;)

Its a keeper lens... probably not selling it. I even put a B&W multi coated UV on mine...;p
The DC coating probably helps too.
 

so comparing this with the 18-200mm, wat are the pros and cons?

Anybody got any idea how to reduce the lens creeping?

Anyone has an opinion of the 18-125mm vs the 18-200mm?
