17-55 Aperture Advantage 2.8 New to DSLR
Re: 17-55 Aperture Advantage 2.8 New to DSLR
Thanks for the stats, a few people actually told me to look at the 17-50 sigma too! Looks like a very good choice at a much lower price. It's just the 17-55 2.8 here in Cape Town is on special for R8500 ($715) and for tweaking the manual focus ring full time and it not moving when you auto focus would be nice feature if Im spending allot on a lens.
I'm still doing tons of research but a thought of mine earlier..
I have dogs and enjoy photographing them too, one being an Italian greyhound puppy who without 2.8 at least Im afraid I would miss. I also want a 70-200f4is one day for sport and a 100 1.8 for macro so don't really mind swapping lenses and carrying a few with me. Iv got a 50 1.8 too for other shots and If i ever get into landscape I would probably go for a cheaper 10-18 for the super wide angle. I think then after reading your reply and what I have just written it sounds like the canon 17-552.8 would suit me and I wouldn't miss the 15,16 and 55-85 range along with lower speed, better build and less dust vacuuming.
