Was that the new Tamron 70-200 2.8 with VC? If so, what did you think? ---- Nevermind, I just saw your other thread on 70-200 choices. It was the new Tamron.


If the Mayans taught us anything, its if you don't finish something its not the end of the world.

Ok so you guys gotta help me out.

I'm wondering if I should sell my 24-105 to get something less expensive as a generall all-purpose lens and then spend the money on more fast primes like the sigma 35 or canon 135L...

argh it's bugging me...

24-105 is pretty much the gold-standard for the 1-lens, travel-light solution. Looks like you already have the 85/1.8. What are you looking/hoping to do differently with the 35 or the 135?

Difference between 105 and 135 (focal length wise) is very small. If you want more reach, you might as well look at the 200 or longer lenses. Your 85/1.8 should be fairly decent for low-light/flashless photography. I'm assuming you want something wider so 35 would be nice. Question for you is how many lenses would you like to lug around?

You can pick up a 28-105 II USM for under $150 and I would say the image quality is hard to differentiate from the 24-105L. You loose IS, the red ring and constant F/4 aperture... but you pocket $600-$700 bucks and still have the same range covered. I have used both of the said lenses for similar purposes (outdoor/travel all in one) and would not hesitate to go with the smaller and cheaper of the two if I needed cash flow.

i think it all depends on what exactly you shoot. i use my 24-105 exclusively with flash, that's it. i don't like using it for available, as it's not fast enough for my needs.

i've have the 135L and it's a great portrait and sports lens. AF is amazingly quick!

GL!

Nice peacock shot Butch! Beautiful colors and sharpness!

Hey James, I really love your El Matador shots. I especially like the first one. What kind of filter did you use for the first shot?

Hey man. Thank you. The first shot had no filter on it. They second one had an ND and a CPL to make it dark and require a longer exposure time.
