There is nothing wrong with 18-250. I'm quite happy with mine as all-round walk about travel zoom. Keep in mind that it is a compromise lens. It will never do as well as a prime... but if you want something to leave on the front of the camera it's a decent choice.
I have the 18-135 WR and the 55-300... but the 18-250 sees more service than the other two combined.

That's probably what will happen with me,.....I'm encouraged that you have the same lenses I have, but use the Sigma more often.

Thanks for your input!

No worries... the only down side to it is that the zoom ring turns the opposite way to the 18-135... I'm forever twisting one of them the wrong way!
