(haha, long time no post, but haven't given up photography or km/sony)
hi guys, need some advice on this...
i'm looking for a lens in the 70-200 range. i have a beercan and a 100-300 APO, which are both great, but in some situations i feel i need something faster (both focus and aperture)
(am using an a850)
i'm thinking about the tamron 70-200 because:
a) much cheaper than the sony
b) lighter than the sony or sigma
c) it's black
d) apparently sharper than the sigma? esp at closer distances
but reviews say that the focusing is loud, slow, and sometimes misses/hunts. i'm just wondering how big the problem really is
also, anyone know where i can find this in s'pore (and for around how much?)
thanks much for your help
