Jan 17, 2009 11:09 | #1 Anyone have both of these and can give a comparison? IQ, build, etc. I have the 28-135 and have thought of replacing it with the 50-150. I don't care to hear about getting a 70-200 or 24-105 or anything else. Just curious if anyone has had both of these and what their thoughts are. I know ones 3.5-5.6 IS and the other is 2.8 non IS. 7D MKII ■ 10-22 ■ 15-85 ■ 28-135 ■ Σ 50-150 ■ 70-200 f4L ■ 100-400L ■ 580EX II

But, I can give you my thoughts on the 50-150mm and how it compares to lens I own or have used. Hi

The 28-135 IS provides a nice useful range similar to a 70-200 on a FF. 6D | 70D | 24-105 L IS | 17-40 L | 300 F4 L IS | 50 1.8 II | 1.4x II | LR5 | HV30 | bug spray | wilderness

I like the extra stop, 2.8 on the 50-150 but you have the IS on the 28-135. I guess I would really like to know if the 50-150 has better IQ? And if the AF is faster. 7D MKII ■ 10-22 ■ 15-85 ■ 28-135 ■ Σ 50-150 ■ 70-200 f4L ■ 100-400L ■ 580EX II

I can't comment on the 28-135's optics, but the Sigma's are outstanding. IS comes in handy for static objects, while faster aperture is better for moving objects. "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

And if anyone else has any thoughts on the 50-150 lets hear them as well. No comparison bw the two lenses. Build and IQ on the EX smoke the Canon 28-135 IS. But that's not a surprise, right?
