  2. Hi,
    Thanks much for your useful reviews. I own a Nikon D3300 and i am looking at buying a Sigma18-250 or a Tamron 18-270mm lens for my DSLR. But wonder about compatibility issue, since D3300 has no built in auto focus motor. Can you please help me decide.

    Thanks

          1. Its been less than a month i am using the sigma 18-250. As i was looking at a basic travel lens with some decent zoom which is serving my purpose.
            The f6.3 is a bit frustrating at 250mm though. But do i have a choice with this price? And second thing the focus ring is not as quick as the Nikor 18-55 kit lens which i also use. Otherwise its a fine device so far.

          2. This lens is giving me grief at tele end. Pictures are great IF you can get them to focus. Conditions have to be perfect: sunny outdoors, mid-zoom, static subject. This is too much weight to haul around if the zoom range is not doing it’s job. Other than that the shots are pleasing. However, I would NOT recommend this lens on the D3300; too many missed shots. Also, you’ll definitely want to use the LOCK button. Very intense lens creep.
