Canon Sigma Tamron
Tamron or Sigma brand lenses for a Canon Rebel XTi?
I have a Canon Rebel XTi body and now I need some lenses. The Canon brand lenses are way out of my budget! I am looking at getting either Tamron or Sigma brand lenses, but I would like to know from any of you what you think is better. Here are the ones I am looking at...
-Tamron Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 Aspherical Lens
-Tamron Zoom Telephoto AF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 LD Macro Autofocus Lens
and
-Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8-4 DG High Speed Zoom Autofocus Lens
-Sigma Zoom Telephoto 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Autofocus Lens
The Sigma lenses cost a little more, but are they of better quality? I know you get what you pay for concerning lenses, but I just need something that will work the best for the money I have to spend and $800-1500 for one Canon lens is way out of my budget!
Any suggestions or recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you very much.
Oh yeah, and these lenses would be used to take scenic, fast action sports, or still photos.
I much prefer Canon's range of lenses...but, yes they ARE very pricey. Though, I would rather pay more for an excellent lens in the first place...rather than try to save money by buying a mediocre lens...only to regret it later (which would be a waste of money).
That's why it's important to choose wisely.
The Tamron lenses you mentioned are only average lenses according to reviews. However, I suggest that you take a look at the lens review links below...which will give you some idea of which lenses are good, which ones are average, which lenses are not worth getting...and which lenses you would really like, but are just too damn expensive!
You just have to work out which focal length and aperture is most important to you. The faster the lens, the more it will cost you.
Perhaps you should also look at one of Canon's very affordable prime lenses. Some are quite plasticky in build, but produce very sharp results.
Good luck with your choice...
