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...
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?
hmmm.. how do u quickly test a lens when buying so that u get a good copy?
for me, I only ask them for a focus chart if there is to check front/back focusing.. :x
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...
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?
good in the sense that it satisfies more consumers and/or professional
photographer.. rarely encounter cases whereby a f2.8 lenses are crappy
and not worth the money.. I think u get what I mean.. :)
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.. :)
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)...
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...
