Hello All, I am in the market for a compact zoom lens to be mainly used on my SL1. My main use will be for in a arena to capture some shots, Monster Jam, Hockey and maybe some other well let events. My problem is the venue only allows cameras with a lens length of less than 3 inches. l would like a little more reach than my 18-55 and my other lens are to long. I'm leaning towards the sigma 18-250 not sure how this image quality is on this lens.

Sigma 18-250 is 3.5" long

very similar to the EF 85 f/1.8 USM, the EF 100 f/2 USM is also just under 3".

That's even better!  With less CA to boot.
