Which one ?

[lil-lynx]

Hello I have been looking at two lens, can i have your thoughts on them please

1. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tamron-AF-70-30 ... 056&sr=8-1

I like the 1:2 macro. Will this be any good ? Wouldn't mind trying some macro. But the wallet wont let me buy the 100mm canon macro

2. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sigma-70-300mm- ... 387&sr=8-5

Thanks

I have been using the Sigma and it is a great lense for the money!
Im sure there are few other colleagues over here, that are using or have used this lense with great success!

I have the sigma lens and I like it a lot

I like the sigma 70-300.

For the money, it's brilliant.

Why did u all pick sigma over the tamron ? any reason ?

 

[Steve Smith]

I only bought mine because John Starkey was selling it on after buying something far nicer and shinier

I would also go for the Sigma, I had this one for some time and it was pretty good, I would however look for the APO version of it, which has better glass!

Sigma but get the APO version as the difference is worth it. The tamron 70-300mm are also very goo though

One thing to bear in mind is that whilst you may upgrade your camera from time to time, a lens is for life, not just for Christmas. Get it right first time.
