CrazyCresties Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Another vote for the 17-70 :D The OS on it is great too - this is handheld indoors with natural light, exposure 1/30 ! and I don't have the steadiest of hands :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'd take my 17-70 - much more options than my 50 I would go 17-70 if I had one, :) I would go 17-70 if I had one, :) Isn't it lovely - I want one but also want a macro lens.. My sigma 17-70 IS also a macro lens maybe not in the same class as my canon 100mm macro, but it is still very good as an all round lens The Sigma 17-70 is one of those rare gems of a lens that only one company has. I love having it in my line-up even if I don't use it all that often on land (but when I want it, nothing comes close!) Another vote for the 17-70 :D The OS on it is great too - this is handheld indoors with natural light, exposure 1/30 ! and I don't have the steadiest of hands :laugh: damn you, damn you all!!!! .......................

CrazyCresties Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Uh oh Kirislin, has your lens collection just increased by one? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 :laugh: can you guess which one? :D It makes sense, then I'm covered from 17mm up to 200mm with a couple of primes thrown in for good measure. :laugh: I just hope it's a sharp one, I hear some horror stories about Sigmas. fingers crossed it's a good one.

Juddabug Whippets Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Oh Staffyluv! I was just looking up that lens today! Thinking it might be my next purchase! In a loooong time as I need more $$$$'s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Oh Staffyluv! I was just looking up that lens today! Thinking it might be my next purchase! In a loooong time as I need more $$$$'s You'd have to sell your 70-200 if you were going to buy the 70-300 or you'd be doubling up too much. I wonder if they make a 200-300, that would make more sense if you want something longer. I've sometimes wondered about the 100-400, perhaps that would've served me better than what I have. Dunno....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddabug Whippets Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yeah, I kinda want something like a 17-70mm and a 100-400. Yeah if I got the big one, I could sell the 70-200.... Ahhh we can dream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddabug Whippets Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I have the f4 70-200mm.... If I had the f2.8 I wouldn't be getting rid of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddabug Whippets Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I have the f4 without IS. And I love it! At 8 frames per second I've not had any issues. If you go to our club Facebook page, Click here most of the race shots are shot with it. All my 52wk dog shots like the beach ones are taken with it, I rarely use the 50mm. I love it and am pleased I didn't spend double the money on the f2.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kja Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I agree the f4 Canon 70-200 is a rockin' lens! Personally I wouldn't give up the 2.8 or the IS but that f4 is SWEET! I would also NOT sell my 70-200 just because I had the 100-400. They are very different beasts and imho a kit needs both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
