Tamron A16 or Sigma 17-70?
It is hard to choose.
I asked myself.
Are you need a Marco function? YES.
How many photo you need the range 50-70mm? about 30%
OK, go ahead to Sigma!
It's a 28mm wide.
It's a 105mm macro
It's a f2.8 at wide angle.
because of this lens, I sold my 28mm, 50mm macro, almost.
because of this lens, I give up buying the 70mm macro and 105 macro.
f2.8 DoF is too shallow for macro sometimes, f4.5 and 105mm focal length seems the best combination for me.
18-50mm f2.8 too short. 18-125mm too dark. This 17-70mm is the optimal for most use.
缺點:
OS OS, please update to OS version.
must buy HSM version.
be careful of bias lens elements out of focus. I read about (most Sigma lenses) some of this lens being frame left and right different sharpness, or frame up and down different sharpness. Must check before buying.
