should I buy a L lens?
- Thread starter Takki
- Start date
in a local shop!
i forgot to take me Rebel with me, but they let me testing a working Rebel with that HEAVY L lens! (but no CF card...)
the 70-200mm F2.8 L USM is very quiet when auto focussing.
the USM motor is much faster than my current 75-300mm IS USM.
i hope that these type of motors (USM) of that L lens are FAST enough to autofocus (capture) a fast moving race car.
poor me...there wasn't a CF card in that Rebel from the store.
but i saw one thing, button on that L lens. There was a switch to lock the focus...something like 3m to~
whats that for switch? the man from the shop tried to explain me, but i wanna hear from you guyz.
but the 100-400mm L IS USM has IS and its heavier too! I expect.
But the man said the biggest aperture in this lens is F4.5

How do you think it possible to judge sharpness of any lens when used to pan fast moving objects with a slow enough shutter speedto show such backround blur?
Just the vibration from the roaring engine is enough to blur the image slightly, then there is the fact that the car/bike, whatever is bouncing slightly!
Nice images
I have tried this lens and found it VERY sharp, just didn't go for it because of the weight, although not bad weight for a 120-300 f2.8!, Nice lens sigma!
If only thire wos money to mayke owt of typo's

The switch locks the focus range...
ie: if you are only going to shoot things that are 3 metres or farther away, then you put that little switch to 3. This will allow the lense to focus faster as it doesn't have to worry about hunting closer thant 3 metres...

Why does he show those samples to show the sharpness? I have to say that those samples are not very sharp.

or an example http://takki.fotopic.net/p2296832.html
so you like my picz (made with the 75-300mm IS USM)?
sorry folks...i want more sharpness. I've really seen better/sharper pictures of moving race cars.

ok and you are right, while panning, you can't argue about the sharpness of a lens.
so we have to see some normal (not panning) picz of that Sigma lens before we judge the sharpness of that Sigma lens.

The Sigma kicks ass!! I think it must be hard for you to admit that a SIGMA can be as sharp as a Canon L lens! WELL GUESS WHAT, IT IS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Here some more people who think the Sigma is as sharp as L glass.

If you shoot in horrible lighting conditions, L lense is a must. I found myself shooting 1600 at 2.0 today (135mm 2.0L) about 60 frames, very harsh situation
so you still can use a reasonable fast shutter.

I think you mean Sigma 100-300 f/4, unless you're talking about Sigma 120-300 f/2.8.
I want the latter, but it costs a grip (~$1,800).
