What lens should I go for?

I am thinking of getting a new lense for my 350. I Was wondering if any one has any of these and what do you think of them. My options are
Canon 28-135mm is usm
Sigma 18-200mm DC OC
Tamron 18-250mm Di
Tamron 28-300 Di

They are all around the £250 mark. Any advise would be good

Assuming you already have an 18-55mm kit lens or similar, I would go for the Canon 55-250mm IS for around £190. I have been pleasantly surprised by it's optical quality and focus speed.

Yes I do have the 18-55mm kit lens but the idea was to sell that and get a lens with a larger focal range for day to day use. I have a sigma macro and canon 100-400mm. But don't want to take them all out all of the time.

Re: What lens should I go for?

I've got a tamron 28-300. I keep it in my bag because its a very light and compact method of bridging the 100mm -300mm gap. My normal everyday lens is the 24-105 f4 L IS. I have a Sigma 100-300 EX which I take out when I know I need a good lens - but its big and awkward to carry all the time.

I wouldn't want one as my main everyday lens though.
