General purpose lens choice for Canon XSI/450D in Canon EOS Mount Posted October 16, 2008 Hoping to catch you before you leave, Debs-- I'm no expert, but from what I have read, no lens with macro capability comes close to lens built to only be a macro. IOW, Stick with the Tamron over the Sigma, if the Tamron is better in other respects
