I've recently bought a Canon 400D that has the bog standard 18-55mm kit but I'm looking for something with a bit more reach.

I used to have a Sigma 28-200mm on my old EOS 300 and I liked the focal range you got with this.

I've been looking at Sigma's 17-70mm & 18-125mm as these are around the price I'm looking at paying for a lens. I've read mixed reviews on the 18-125 and wondered whether I should sacrifice the reach I would get from the 18-125.

I do tend to take more landscape shots than close-ups, but there is that occasion where I like to get in close and shoot some odd part of an ancient building, or an animal.

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?


Thanks a lot
Matt
