Rev and other photogs[views:2779][posts:20]______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 7:37am - quintessence ""] What lenses do you find you use the most for shows? Just wondering. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 7:40am - the_reverend ""] 17-55mm f/2.8 dx 24-70mm f/2.8 fx |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 7:48am - DaveFromTheGrave ""] 12-24 mm f4 dx that's my favorite one. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 8:07am - the_reverend ""] that is a dx lens. I want the 14-24 f/2.8, but am looking around for a 20-60 f/2.8 fx lens |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 8:27am - DaveFromTheGrave ""] i want the 14-24 too, but I can't afford it. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 8:30am - DaveFromTheGrave ""] wait, 20-60? they make one of those? |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 8:56am - the_reverend ""] someone said that they did, but I haven't seen one yet. it might be a sigma or something. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 9:36am - quintessence ""] the_reverend said:17-55mm f/2.8 dx 24-70mm f/2.8 fx I would love to pick up either of those. I need more money. :( I need to replace my all around lens. Thinking of a Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC I cant afford to spend more than 350 really. You rich bastards. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 9:39am - the_reverend ""] save up. don't buy just another shitty lens. 70mm @ f/4.5 is useless. |

| ______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 9:59am - quintessence ""] True.... A 24-70mm f/2.8 isnt that far away really. This is what happens when I get bored at work. I should hide my credit cards. |

I should hide my credit cards. you only live once, just buy it. you can always sell good lenses for nearly the same price you paid for it years later. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 10:17am - quintessence ""] Funny I just stumbled on one of Revs review of the Sigma 24 - 70 I might get at dpreview.com |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 10:42am - the_reverend ""] that was the $350 version one lens. the new one is a DC lens and does macro. that is also on a full frame camera so 24mm on it is like 17mm on your camera. The version 1 of the 17-35mm sigma blew, but I heard good things about the version 2. I really suggest never getting any variable aperture lenses (except the 70-300) |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 10:43am - the_reverend ""] oh and tom, I don't need canon anymore. I have a D3. haven't touched her canon's since. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 11:35am - quintessence ""] Sigma has some nice glass. Whats your impression of the SIGMA 18-50MM F2.8 EX DC ? |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 11:59am - the_reverend ""] people speak rather highly of it. I would probably suggest that to you over the 24-70mm on a dx camera. |

| _______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 12:49pm - quintessence ""] RAWR! canon vs nikon! who cares! |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 12:57pm - porphyria ""] JUST A JOKE. chill. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 25,2008 12:59pm - quintessence ""] I'll admit. I laughed |
