There are a whole bunch of 3rd party lenses. What do you want exactly? What's your budget? Be more specific.kerpalz said:any good recommendation of 3rd party lenses to use with a 10D?
for me opticts is more important than built outside hehehehe.....Denosha said:I've always found the build quality of Sigmas (at least the EX series) to be a lot better than Tamrons. More solidly built. And they have things like HSM that is almost as good as USM (depending on which lens it's on).
However, Tamrons seem to have more compact models? Just compare the size of the 28-75 XR DI F2.8 to a Sigma 24-70 F2.8 EX or even a Canon 24-70 F2.8 L, it's so much smaller and lighter.
Sigma seems to have stories of having a lot of lemos tho. Luckily so far both my Sigmas are "good" copies. Anyway, i would recommend u bring down ur cam and test the hell out of the lens b4 u buy just in case.
A good copy of the Sigma 15-30.NiVleK said:Whilst we are on that, any good 3rd party lens that is comparable to 17-40L or 16-35L?
Tamron SP90. (macro)kerpalz said:these are the configs that i`m looking into....something that is on par with..
Nikkor 12-24mm f3.5-5.6
EF 24-70L f2.8
EF 16-35L f2.8
any Macro lens that is good....
i`m 40%built, 60%optics person...100% cheaper price person.... coz i`m just using these third part for the time being... then i will switch to canon when the time comes....
Cathay doesn't carry Sigma or Tamron lenses. Try Alan Photo instead.NiVleK said:You can try the local shops like Cathay, MScolor, TK Photo, etc. Just search for the number and call them up.
Cathay do carry tamron lenses.Newman said:Cathay doesn't carry Sigma or Tamron lenses. Try Alan Photo instead.
TCW grey sets come with shop warranty. They are pretty good guys, but no promises. AP grey sets come with shop quality, i have exchanged dud sets with them before...... but coz i have good relations with them but most don't. So don't try.kerpalz said:just to clarify..... does grey set comes with warranty? as in local?
