Default Wait and we can take on Nikonians.

Sigma EX 18-200 HSM OS.

Soon Canon users can rival Nikon's 18-200 VR.

Is it really important?

Anyway, its not a canon, what... With Nikon mounts, can still use with Nikon cameras, so what's the fuss?

The photos is more important proof instead of the equipment.

Sure. With OS & a good range, it should be good. Hopefully, there will be some review on its performance soon. What's the likely cost of the lense?

I doubt you can keep the VR function with Nikon-to-Canon lens adaptor. Never tried... not too sure though...

Nevertheless, you are sure to retain the wonderful optics of the lens.

Check out the article by Ken Rockwell on the adapter to use Nikon lense on Canon.
