The first picture is of a Tamron lens, not Sigma... Did you read reviews of the Sigma then buy a Tamron?
But if it does what you want for £25, who cares about the manufacturer, you've got a bargain.

LOL! What an idiot I am, it's because my other lens is a Sigma and I had Sigma in my brain. Yes it is a Tamron and all that I said applys to it ha ha!

BOTH lenses mentioned are very nice and I got lots of fun from my own Tamron version. Getting one for £25 is a real killing as they tend to go for twice that!

I remember buying a Sigma 70-300 4/5.6 APO Macro in the late 90s for what was then considered a bargain = £250!! Makes you think.
