I am looking for a lens to replace the standard lens kit on the 400d, 18-55. Cant make my mind up from the SIGMA 17-70mm f2.8-4.5 DC Macro or sigma 18-200mm f3.5 – 6.3 DC OS.Any ideas?

i have a sigma 18-125mm and while its not the fastest or quietest lens in the world, its reasonably sharp, and ridiculously cheap.
I have, for the second time, the Sigma 70-300mm APO DG Macro. This is a good value zoom with long reach. However, you would need to have something for the short end of the zoom range.
I think you could pick up MK II 18-55mm from eBay for a good price. I used to like my kit lens for shorter work. I now have the 17-85mm IS as a kit lens and I am pleased with the results so far.
Sigma and Tamron short zooms are good, low priced lenses.
