Are there any objective comparisons of the Canon 18-200 IS to the Sigma 18-200 OS lenses?

I have tried for 2 days to find a good article that directly compares these two very similar offerings, but I'm not finding anything even remotely empirical.

I accept that both these lenses sacrifice optical quality to achieve their wide zoom range, but I'd like to know if there is any significant different between the two that would justify the extra money for the Canon.

Hi Linty,

I don't think a serious direct comparison in one article exists, but I would suggest looking at photozone's separate reviews of both lenses:

Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS:

Sigma AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS, for Canon:

http://www.photozone.de/canon-eos/321-sigma-af-18-200mm-f35-63-dc-os-canon-test-report--review

They used different bodies for the tests (50D for the Canon, 350D for the Sigma), so resolution figures may be slightly affected, but other measurements, like distortion, vignetting, CA, etc., can be directly compared.

I would suggest printing out both tests and comparing each section.

Have you considered the Tamron 18-270 VC (VC = Vibration Control)? It seems to outperform overall both the Canon and the Sigma, though it's also slightly more expensive than the Canon. Here's Photozone's test of the Tamron 18-270 on Canon:

http://www.photozone.de/canon-eos/412-tamron_18270_3563vc_canon

It's tested on the Canon 50D, same model they used for the Canon 18-200 test, so you can directly compare everything, except that I would be careful not to directly compare the Tamron at 270mm to the Canon at 200mm. Fortunately, they tested the Tamron at 200mm in addition to 270mm for all tests.

Good luck, and have fun!
