The one that includes "Macro" in the name is the newest version: "Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM". It is smaller, lighter, and has improved close-up capability; hence the inclusion of the "Macro" monniker. The older lens is still available on Amazon for $329 versus $399 for the new one. Hope this helps!

The 18-250 has two variants, one with an internal focus motor (AII) and one that does not (AI). The 18-250mm is a great lens but came out in 2008. I would suggest the 18-270 instead or the Sigma 18-200mm, the Nikon 18-300 or the Nikon 18-200VRII which I own.

I would go with the 18/135 lense . Have had both , 18 is newer , better technology , wider and lighter . Pictures are outstanding

The correct hood is ALC-SH119.PS the 18-135 is a nice lens but I find myself using my Sigma 18-250 more.less noise when focusing and fast,accurate focus.

Love my Sigma. It is fantastic lens for the money. If video is a requirement, I recommend the Sony. The OSS makes for much better video. BTW - when I shoot video, I change to 16-50 lens with OSS.

The one I received was a USA lens with Sigma warranty. It was NOT a "grey market" lens.

18-55 and 55-250 lenses are highly recommended despite being cheap, it's good to supplement with a luminous lens, eg 50mm f/1.8. The wide-angle and telephoto are trash, the discarded

Completely interchangeable. Only older Sigma lenses may not work fully, but those lenses aren't worth keeping anyways.

SONY Alpha 6000 uses E mount lenses. The 55-200mm f/4-5.6 SAM DT is an A mount.

I really like the 18-140. I also have the 55-300. At the time I was researching to purchase a new lens the 18-140 appeared to be the better choice. I went to the Nikon site and did a comparison between the 18-140, 18-200, and 18-300. The 18-140 was new, with the newer technology, lighter, and cheaper. For me, 18-140 focus quickly and it has the range I use most. I usually keep the 55-300 with me, so I'm covered in most situations.

The EF-S 18-55 mm IS lens and the 55-250mm IS lens are made by Canon, not the case for the Telephoto and wide-angle lenses.

TVM,Thanks for the heads-up on the Sigma. A popular photo mag just this month had a review on a Sigma lens - 18mm/250mm. They gave it a big thumbs up so I'll keep checking up on Sigma for quality and suitability/cost-effectiveness for the T1i. I'll already start some reading up on the 150mm/500mm. BTW - that "500" # sounds juicy. Per Tech's comment (and I educated myself more on what he was talking about) what with a 1.4 or 1.6 mag ratio that 500mm max zoom should be more like in the 700's. I guess that means a quality tripod (read "triple digits") is in the cards too. TVM,Thanks for the heads-up on the Sigma.

The Sigma for Sony A mounts has a built in micro motor. Rapid and accurate with a NEX-7 It adapts with the LA-2 A mount to E mount.

I have not used the 18-250,but if it functions as well as the 28-300mm I think you will be well satisfied. For A APS-C bodies Sigma makes a great lens.
