Hi
I am looking for a walk around and portrait lens. I missed the 35ltd, someone was quicker hand... And brand new is too much for me. So, I am looking for a substitute for it.
Now in my mind, I have 2 lens for walk around: Sigma 18-50 2.8 Macro (the old model without HSM) and the faithful tamron 17-50 2.8
Sigma is slightly cheaper than tamron, but with macro and closer focus. Tamron, on the other hand, are used by many.
So, I just want to ask your opinion on the 2 lenses about the quality of image, as well as durable of the lens. Also, at 50mm 2.8, it is still good for portrait, how are the 2 compare?
Thank you
