I would go to the website and see what info you can find there. They may have both lenses there. You can also try to go to a photo review site such as Ken Rockwell to see what they have to say.

The lens is the same. I would recommend purchasing from Amazon, as there are no significant discounts and Amazon standing behind their products and purchasers, to include no-charge 2 day shipping if a Prime member worth it. By the way, a great lens. If you are a pro then go for it, but the new 24-240 lens at $995 is a great bargain and a great lens covering a 10X magnification, relatively light, and works great on e-mount Sony's. I just got mine and am ecstatic with it.

No, I would highly suggest going for the VR version for a few extra bucks. This is obsolete. I also would suggest getting a new version as this lens is old and many used ones won't operate correctly.

I cannot compare it to the previous generation since I did not have the previous one to try it.I am happy with the photos I have taken with this lens. It is my choice lens for wide angle photographySo here are photos I have taken with lens - you see if this is the quality you seek in a lens:https://www.flickr.com/photos/shedraway/10490508155/https://www.flickr.com/photos/shedraway/9739746183/https://www.flickr.com/photos/shedraway/13051859825/Hope this helps!

The new one is made of fancy plastic and the old one has some metal. The new one is slightly sharper. Another major difference is that the old one has 77mm filter size and the new one had 82mm filter size. You have to be pretty finicky about image quality to notice the difference.

Yes, this is the new model. At bh photo, it mentions that the other model is discontinued. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?atclk=Lens+Mount_Canon+EOS&sts;=ma&N;=4108103567&Ntt;=sigma+18-250

The newer version with the C is the contemporary line of lens, sigma also came out with a art line.Basically it's much better then all of sigma previous lenses and some of the art line can even beat Canon's L glass at a fraction of cost. Quality control is also better so less bad apples make it pass inspection.Just read the reviews, you can't go wrong with a lens from the contemporary or art line.

The lens that I purchased was a new one. Having said that it arrived in perfect condition and I have taken so really incredible pictures with these lens. It has become my second fav lens. Also keep checking because Tamron frequently offers rebates , I received $75. Hope this helps.

The older version had a cheaper plastic tab to hold the red filter closed over the lens. It broke off very easily on a first use for me. Then half of my pictures would see the filter float out away from the camera destroying the shot. The new version is perfect. Don't even think about getting the old one! Customer service was very responsive to the problem, btw.

To my knowledge, the only difference is color. Since it is the same model, I doubt Nikon made any other significant changes.

No comparison. Ability to go to F1.4 makes the depth of field control so much better. These two lens are in completely different class.

There are two different lenses. The older one is the f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. Ken Rockwell reviews both on his web site. I have the older one which is not all that old actually--a couple years. It is an all purpose lens and I keep it on my camera much of the time. Check out the Rockwell reviews for a comprehensive and more technical discussion of each one.

which lens are you talking about? I thought you were asking a question about a new lens. I'm not a seller here... I happen to own the lense and amazon sent me your question...So you are probably asking the question to the wrong person heresorry

I believe that the newest model is the roman numeral II. I originally purchased the lens new in 2011.
