This is for a general lens- I dont shoot any one thing more than another, and indoors low light is almost as likely as outdoor in summer!
I am waiting to buy a 70-300 IS USM for my long range, and asides from macro and a couple of manual lenses this will be my main lens.
The problem is I like to be able to shoot w i d e, and compromising anything is never as good as having the right tool for the job- so I understand I may have to get a 10-20/22 for the wide stuff, my current sigma 17-70 is just about ok but would like a bit more width!
I have put my first options in the poll, any other ideas please post and help me out!!! I just want a really good sharp lens that will focus quickly, and I would like IS and fast focussing. Body upgrade is also on the cards at the mo but glass comes first. Oh- I'm staying with a crop!!
Thanks all- ANY info much appreciated.
Edit- it would be nice to hear that the 24-70 doesn't storm ahead in terms of IQ as it will cost double with a UWA as well, and I know the Tamron is supposed to be good but not very good build quality? I want something that will last a long time!
