Best bang for the buck lens. Need Help Fast!

Another vote for the Sigma 17-70 Dc macro, Nothing can touch it for the price!

+1 for the Sigma 17-70

J.

+1 Sigma 17-70, was a great replacement for my kit lens.

Another nod for the Sigma 17-70

I'm buying the 17-70 for my first lens purchase to replace the kit. I've talk to quite a few people who have it and used it for sometime and they can't believe how well it has done for them. So I'll go with a vote for that one if you are looking for wide angle/small zoom.

So the wrong end of the focal length scale and way above his price range. Apart from that, exactly what he's looking for!

What do you expect in the lens forum

Anyway, 17-70mm Sigma is the bang per buck king at the moment. Excellent throughout. Great flexibility and decent build/function.

Tamron 17-50 f/2.8

Best bang for the buck the kit lens, for about $50 it can't be beat for the money.

Now if you want sharp pics also then that is a diffrent story, maybe 11-22 or a 16-35.

Hey thanks a bunch guys,

I decided to lay off the lens for now and use my 28-75. Ill just buy the 17-40 or something that is strictly wide in a little while.

btw thanks for the wide 70-200....:P i had the 2.8......one of biggest regrets ive ever made was selling that thing.

Man, and you thought the 70-200 f4 was good for that stuff. Wait till you experience the 200 1.8L, best night club lens out there (that is if you want to be the most conspicuous photographer there).

I liked my Tamron 17-35 i picked it up for about 300 i have seen it for less since (used)
Cheers,
Riley
