Just looked this lens on Jacobs and there seems to be different versions
SIGMA 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 NAF DC NON MO
SIGMA 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS SIG
SIGMA 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 EOS DC
SIGMA 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 PAF DC
SIGMA 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 SAF DC
SIGMA 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 SON DC
Im a little confused to say the least the cost is from £149 for the SIGMA 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 NAF DC NON MO and £199 for the rest.

Been thinking this through and an 18/200 would be fine for the purposes I need from a walk about. Can I expect the 18/200 Tamron or Sigma lenses to be optically as good as there 250 versions as if so this would save me a pound or two.

My reason for asking re this lens is I have the Tokina 28 105 recently on the camera as a walk about but on a good few occasions I needed it to be wider. I have the Sigma 10/20 and 17/70 but on a lazy day it would be nice to have the option of just taking the one lens. Im quite happy with the IQ on the Tonika but its frustraiting not having that little bit extra at both ends of the scale.

Cracking set of prints number 2 for me that looks to be a very nice lens you have there.
