Does anyone have experience with the Sigma 17-70 OS? Been thinking of either that or the Canon 15-85, from what i hear both very similar.. Except the Canon is double the price lol.

True its a constant 2.8 but i need more of an upgrade in focal length for a more general purpose lens. The more research i do it seems that the Canon 15-85 is far more superior in sharpness. Time to save up...

The new 70-300L is amazing, if you have the budget for it.

Looking for a versatile travel lens for my D90...thinking about the 16-85VR. Any thoughts for or against it? Tests look pretty good.

^ i was actually just looking into this lens as well for a D7000 but from what i read and the guy told me from BC its very similar to the 18-105 VR. Differences are not very significant and ur pretty much paying for the 16mm..

The reviews on the 16-85 give great ratings on sharpness (corners were a bit darker, but it's a zoom lens for the consumer level, so I can live with that). I'll have to visit BC and try it out tomorrow. What about that Sigma 17-50? Perhaps it's a bit too heavy for a travel lens?

consider purchasing the canon 24-70mm f2.8 L lens as a walk-around lens, but it does not come with IS, also considering the canon 24-105mm f4 with IS.... i really love to 2 extra stops, but is it worth not having IS? i've read some ppl whom bought the 2.8 complain about it not being sharp, maybe due to their shaky hands? What are your outputs guys?

i think i would go with the 17-50. it has fixed 2.8 too. it shouldnt be too heavy, i had a 17-70 a while back and it was pretty light

The minimum focus distance makes it really practical for stuff like food photography. IMO it's a pretty sharp lens and with the OS on I've taken portraits at speeds as slow as 1/5 without any problems. There is a big difference between the 2.8-4.0 and the 2.8-4.5 though, dont be fooled!

the 2.8-4.5 is about 1/2 the price, he should be safe. There's a Canon version of this lens, just called a 2.8(17-70mm OS), and its even way more than the 2-8-4.0

What are your outputs guys? | The 24-70 has one extra stop over the 24-105. I think the 24-105 is a good walkaround/travel lens, but I wouldn't use it professionally - I find the f4 aperture too limiting. Both lenses are a bit soft, but they will output sharp 16x20 prints, maybe 20x24 as long as you have optimum focus & exposure. I think for most people, the 24-105 is a better choice, but if you do a lot of people shots indoors, the f2.8 aperture of the 24-70 might come in handy, as the IS does not compensate for subject movement. The 24-70 is a bit of a pig, as it's big & heavy.

^ well the cheapest and best is the sigma 10-22mm. You still gonna spend near $600 or less if u find used. Or you can also go for a general purpose 15-85 USM but thats like $1000 and cost more then the T3i it self... Fuck why are lenses so damn expensive Time to save up
