danlin said:hi all, im in a dilemma whether to get tamron / sigma 28-300mm lens, im more into street photography and my budget is below $500. can anyone pls spare some advice? Thanks alot.
is $300 for 2nd hand sigma 28-300mm worthy?
Woah... That's what exactly I hear about Tamron lenses from shop seller when I want to buy Tamron lens that he don't have... :bsmilie: .Snoweagle said:Get the Tamron one as Sigma ones have a tendency to fog and lens coating fade over time. I'm using the Tamron 28-300, very versatile lens for street shooting as well but now i'm reserving it only for taking wildlife and events.
Isaiahfortythirtyone said:if you want to do street, do you need such a superzoom? there are compromises in such extreme designs. i would go for something shorter and smaller, perhaps the 17-35mm, 28-75mm, sigma 24-60 (not 24-70), or go the way of primes and just get one 35mm/2 or 50/1.4 everything can be got for about $500 thereabouts, new or 2nd hand.

ExplorerZ said:might wan to look at the 18-200 range as well... price is slightly above $500 tho, but i believe you will use more 18-27mm over 201-300mm range.
wanzw said:i will recommend a 70-200 or 70-300 anytime. better image quality as compared to 28 or 55
Snoweagle said:If this range get the originals.
hongjone said:I think a better choice might be the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8. :thumbsup: Might be a bit more than what you've budget for. :think:
wanzw said:well if budget allows. just buy original :thumbsup:
