Anyone has experience with Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 EX DG? Constant f2.8 for the price is a steal though 28mm x 1.5 crop factor is not very desireable.
Was quoted about $500+ for new one.

im using the tamron one. sharp and light yet still feels solid. but nevertheless, i wld still suggest u go for original KM stuff, especially if the price is good.
too bad canon doesnt have a KM equivalent of a 28-75 for $600

The closest for CANON would be the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM (at about $2 400 :bigeyes: )Isaiahfortythirtyone said:

yes, i read that somewhere too.
minolta was impressed by the tamron that their kit lens
was made by them,
at a lower price( and a better look imo ).
they are the same lens basically. the tamron version can shoot in macro mode( not real macro, but allows u to get closer than normal)
Its a good lens, very sharp, colors are close to that of canon's L lens. Tamron's comes with 1 year international warranty + 2 year extended.
Going for $635 at MS color and $615 at alan photo.

sold my 17-40L and 24-70L n replace it with the tamron's.
its sharper wide open and imo colour is better.
canon tend to be redder whereas tamron is neutral
but this is KM subforum right?
go for the KM stuff cos i remember they r cheaper than
tamron's offering.

yeah i just came back from HK with my 28-75 tamron. shot at f/2.8 in a variety of situations using ISO800 or 1600. sharp enough for good 4Rs. can see wrinkles clearly etc. great lens. am thinkin of gettin the 17-35 tamron to complement it. cant afford Ls la. hehe
I bought the KM one for 570 incl GST in a shop at SL. (after some bargaining). Not many shops have the lens.
I am very happy with the lens. Happy, means to me that it is giving me sharp pictures and nice colors all the way. I can't comment about the difference with the Tamron.

It seems the KM 28-75mm F/2.8 D is going for lesser than the Tamron of same spec. Why go for the tamron if u know u have the advantage of ADI when using the KM??
its not cheaper by much in HK. but other things are cheaper. KM 5D for $1280SGD with 512mb, kit lens, and tamron 80-200mm.
