Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / August 2005Canon's notorious kit lens, compared to the $100 Sigma 18-55?
I noticed Sigma has a cheap zoom with the same characteristics, it's inexpensive, it's plastic and has the same focal range. Has anyone compared it against the Canon? This could be one case where an aftermarket lens of equal value is superior. It's price would also indicate there is no "subsidy" happening with Canon's kit lens if bought with a Rebel XT since the Sigma is roughly the same price. -Rich > I noticed Sigma has a cheap zoom with the same characteristics, > it's inexpensive, it's plastic and has the same focal range.

Sigma + "cheap" ... yeah, you got it. >Sigma + "cheap" ... yeah, you got it. Randall, you can save bandwidth and leave your name out of your posts. We know who you are, just by the content.

No, but you seem to be the only one who can't pass up an opportunity to express that criticism...
