yummy_waffles Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Yeah, I see a few here and there on POTN and DGrin. Yeah, it's definitely a pricey lens, but I need a reliable, generally purpose lens. Looks like I'll hafta get rid of my Tokina 11-16mm.

jporter12 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I know it's not quite the same, but I like my Sigma EX 24-70 (f/2.8) purdy well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 you have to login to see the for sale section That did it, not quite what I'm looking for though, I want a cheap telephoto AF/MF lens....I know, cheap and lens shouldn't go together.

Don't forget to look at some of the third party lenses also. Some of them make some great gear for considerably less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFM Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I know it's not quite the same, but I like my Sigma EX 24-70 (f/2.8) purdy well.I used that lens for two years professionally. It is a good alternative, still a constant F2.8, well built- and it can be found for around $300 used.That said, the Nikon version was a nice upgrade. Worth the extra $1,400? Honestly, that Sigma was a workhorse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I've used both side by side (Sigma and Canon) and the Canon came out ahead easily but with a heavy cost. The first, biggest difference for me was the AF speed. If that isn't as much a concern then it might be worth settling for the Sigma as they generally make good gear.

fusion Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 200 or more, other than that I don't really care. Just something cheap for zoom There's a bunch in that range. 70-200, 70-300, 120-300, 100-400, 135-400, 200 - 500,... of course cheap is relative. I'd look at Canon (non-L) and Sigma in that range.

vw151 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Interesting. Not sure if you are in Columbus, but I've always liked checking out the inventory at the local used pro camera store mpex.comI never saw the OP ask for a pro line or F2.8 lens. Is that what he is looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artmageddon Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I used to have the 24-70 L and the the 24-105 L, and dumped the 24-70 in favor of the other. I liked it better, especially for portrait work. Some of the earlier 24-105's were notas good, but I think mine was a later 07 version and it was super crisp and had the best bokeh on a lens I've ever seen. Check it out, very good lens. After buying it, I dumped everything except the 100-400 L and the Tokina 12-24. Didn't need anything else. fredmiranda.com is probably the best for used Canon lens(or was a couple years ago). Sometimes you can get lucky and Adorama or B&H will have used/ refurbed lenes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
