    Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8

    actually both are really good lenses.. and when i view photos taken by these 2 lenses, there aren't really much of a difference unless i examine them at 100% crop.. but my mind somehow tells me to get the tokina because of it sharpness throughout the focal length as well as the advantage in...

    I've got a unhealthy mindset/mentality

    u've got a point too.. :) we are the customers and they are in the service industries.. i've got another question.. how exactly did u test for sharpness? take a photo and upload to your laptop and view at 100%? or zoom in on your camera and make your own decisions with your eyes?

    I've got a unhealthy mindset/mentality

    word of mouth is really very impt.. and very powerful.. :x and those reviews are quite in depth imo.. cos they really go down to 100% crop and study those photos very carefully which i think is a bit too much? as consumer seldom uses 100% of the resolution of their photos and actually those...

    Sigma APO 70-300mm F/4-5.6 DG MACRO USER

    hmmm.. so to say, this will make a good lens for zoo outing, jurong bird park, maybe some casual birding? in summary, a good telephoto zoom in broad daylight? :) however, I read that this lens has some focusing issues and tends to hunt?

    Sigma APO 70-300mm F/4-5.6 DG MACRO USER

    anyone here has any opinions regarding its image quality when compared to sigma 70-200 f2.8? i know they are of different class but if this lens is really good, it may serve as a good alternative to those who want a zoom lens but at the same time want to save some dough.. :)

    I've got a unhealthy mindset/mentality

    but we do have to admit that those f2.8 are really good lenses.. or maybe it is because some feels that if they decided to save some money and get a value for money lens they may regret and end up feeling that they should have just go with the better choice (in this case the f2.8 lenses)...

    I've got a unhealthy mindset/mentality

    thanks guys for the response.. :) can someone clarify the fact that why is it when someone recommend lenses, somehow the ans will be a lens with constant aperture? or is it just because that they are popular and expensive that's why they are good? imagine nikon or canon comes up with...

    @Wildcat woooo.. that's quite an amount of info.. :) appreciate it.. and I understand that stopping down will bring about sharper image.. however in this case, I would like to find out if there are lenses with variable aperture out there that surpass lenses with constant aperture.. so one...
