Which lens is better?

[Timber Wolf]

Lol no worries. I was quite worried about Sigma too, but thought like...why not give it a try? Besides, if anything goes wrong, the most is tt i send it for servicing. Test out both lenses first, then make a decision on which is better.

Cheers
QX =)

Only lenses, even 3rd party, must have the word (D) inorder for the lens to support ADI? Desmond, ADI, remember the helmet? ;p

What a big different in minimum focusing distance. Sigma having a 40cm while KM is 85cm. Hmmm.... Sigma seem good for now......... :think:

No bluff you one ;p

On top of the, Sigma having F32 as smallest while KM, F22. Hmm..... the choice getting clearer.

The 28-75 has a minimum focusing distance of 33cm.
What is stated there is the 28-70G lens.

Perhaps you might want to note the difference.

how about tokina 28-70/80 F2.8? read some review and good review on it, especially the optic and "traditionally" the build quality surpass other brand.

not sure about this lens used with 7D. I think B.W owns this lens and he also uses 7D. can ask him about the performance.

Saw this tokina wide lens at price guide n took a look at it. It only have one aspherical while those zoom lens, got 2 or more. Therefore, is a single aspherical lens enough to handle this wide lens? (Their 28-70 has none! :bigeyes: but their 28-80 is normal, 2 X aspherical n 1 SD lens) Me headache! :sweat:

Now then I notice how useful those meter reading on the lens. Esp those under the plastic cover.

Why I say so as it is because when I try a HSS shooting, which is at 1/8000 under S mode. I saw the reading on the flash is <1.5m and therefore, I make sure I am within that distance. Not sure abt the result, will post it when got chance. Maybe gone case, haha! Therefore, Sigma lens suit me most as I am a guy who like to explore different setup

(Object is a mirror, those selling at ikea with one side magnifty.)
