Looking for a single lens with decent range. My daughter travels quite a bit and wanted a hand me down, had my 60D cleaned and it's now hers for travel.
I would like to get her a single lens that would give her good range, was light enough to carry all day hiking and produced some good image quality. I was looking at the Sigma 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM C. The reviews for the most part are pretty good, they appear to have had a small challenge with the focus motor but overall for the amateur/hobbyist the feedback has been good. I found one used in excellent shape for $380.
Image stabilization and auto focus are a must have for the lens.
The question, if you were going to gift one lens with about the same spec and price what would you buy.
R3 ~ R5 ~ R6 Mk II ~ R50

I second JH suggestion for the Canon ef-s 18-200mm. Keep it Canon of possible. That will work best.

Lens are recommendations for DSLRs are subject to availability. Canon has already stopped production of most EOS DSLR lenses. You could be looking at the used lens market. Try MPB.

I just bought a used Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DI-II VC AF lens from Adorama for $119.00 that I really like. It's not too heavy. Using it on a Canon T6s
