Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM

IM looking into getting this lens i went to wolf camera to day to look at them bc i dont buy my stuff online. The lady there tried to talk me into get the Tamron 24-70 i believe it was. it was more but the reviews i saw on it were not good she kinda pushed me towards it but i had my heart set on the canon 28-105. Im in a price range of under $400. I didn't get either bc the canon wasn't in stock or i probably would have just gotten it. So now im here deciding on if i should get the canon or go with another one.
Anyone got any advice, Im new at lens shopping really since im on a budget i dont know what ot really buy. I do portrats but i like the zoom on them too and my kit lens well yeah its a kit lens you know lol.

I've owned both lenses (Tamron 28-75mm f2.8) and the Tamron is a better lens. It's amazingly sharp and it's f2.8. The 28-105mm II USM is a lens that isn't talked about much, but it's absolutely great for the price.

My advice is to go for the Tamron. It's awesome.

So tamron!!!
I might go back then and see about it.
this si the one it is sorry i said 24-70 its the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8. im just a little off haha.
I want sharp sharp is a main thing im looking. Yeah i haven't seen to much reviews onthe canon, wonder why i saw all bad reviews on the tamron hmm..

IQ and speed of the tamron will be better, but the 28-105 is an excellent lens for the price, and with its USM, the autofocus on the Canon will be much better. At half the price, the 28-105 is quite a steal. Both are excellent lenses.

How much was the 28-105 at wolf?

WOW... its like 150 more than online :O http://www.wolfcamera.​com …lens%3Bcilenses​-for-canon

The 28-105 Mk II is a great little lens. There's one for sale in the Buy/Sell forum for only $180 (if you don't mind used). And no, I'm not the one selling it, nor do I know the person that's selling it...just stumbled across it.

I've owned both the tamron 28-75 and the 28-105 and given the choice I'd take the tamron as its sharper and much faster then the Canon. The Canon is a fantastic lens for walking around outdoor but for portraits and general usage the Tamron is more versatile.

The Tamron 17-50 2.8 is a better lens for the 300D IMO. For day to day and walkaround use then the wide angle end is often more used than the 50-70mm range that you'd lose.

i just bought a 28-105 locally for a steal and have really been enjoying it. I would definitely buy it again.

Agreed. That's why I sold the 28-75 and just picked up the 17-50. 28mm is simply not wide enough on a crop sensor.
