Decision time. I have been offered the chance to purchase a Sigma 17-35 f2.8/4 EX. There is no money mentioned – it's for me to suggest a price if I am interested. I bought a 10d off the chap (a friend) and it's great condition. He has just spent £60 to repair the auto focus.
I do know that there is a revised model with a smaller filter end now from research on Ebay, but these are all new and there are none second hand.
Does anyone have any experience of this lens – good or bad? I have it in my hand, but have never really sparked with wide angle photography (it's on my to do list). Having bought a 10d, image quality would be very important to me (just for personal use though, not professional). I will put the money towards the 17-40L canon if there is a huge difference or see if I can find a very good deal on the 24-70L. It's a difficult decision as it would not be easy to do a back to back.
Is there an easy way to judge the picture quality of a lens?
Cheers for any info or advice.
