Hi all,
just want to seek some opinions regarding the 2 lens cos I'm undecided between the 2.
Considering the price difference is not that much : 180mm @ $900 (Kenghor's MO) and 70-200mm @ $1050 used, what other factors should I consider?
I'm starting to shoot butterflies and been enjoying it, but was using a 50-500mm, which is way too heavy especially when I have to trek. Was thinking a macro lens would be better suited. But, at the same time, a zoom lens would be more versatile. With the zoom lens, I can bring it along when I travel (lugging the 50-500mm, with other things in tow, through airport is a killer). The Sigma 180mm is heavier (960g) compared to the 70-200mm (720g).
Does the 70-200 F4L give a 1:1 magnification?
How does both lens compare at 180mm?
I assume the sigma 180mm would give a better bokeh?
Thanks for any comments!
