Re: Budget lens for auto shots?

I've used the Canon 17-85mm and its far from a sharp lens.

I've also used a Sigma 18-200 (similar to the 18-250) and its not a bad lens, good macro capabilities and fairly accurate focus. Its not the sharpest lens in the world, but quite a bit better than the Canon (in my opinion).

I've not used the 18-135 STM but I'd say its better than the other two and not at all a "compromise" lens.
