lense qualityHey guys and girls im only very new hear and realatively new to the whole photographic scene. I have just recently purchased a Canon 400D and am looking for a couple of upgrades from the kit lenses. My main question is canon lenses have differing quality going up to the L series lenses. Do the other lense makers such as sigma and tamaron have this kind of structure and how can you tell what quality there lenses are.
I hope everyone understands my question. Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers Luke
I know Sigma has an 'Ex' range, that is supposedly their 'pro' ranges. Lenses suck as their 24-70 F/2.8, 70-200 F/2.8, 120-300 F/2.8 and 300mm F/2.8 all fall in this catagory.
Sigma isn't a bad option if money is a bit tight. I've got all Sigma lenses and am very happy with them. Can't speak for tamrom though. 2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc

That's a bit of a slip-up there Alan! Are you saying that your Sigma lenses suck
At the present time I do not have one Nikon lens - all Sigma and a lone Tamron - all great lenses.
Although good quality glass can be an asset under certain conditions, it really comes down to the person taking the photograph and not the equipment. Chris

'Such', I meant 'such', all you freudians out there can go smoke a cigar!!! 2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc

But it was fun Sorry to hijack a perfectly good thread... I've not used any Sigma lenses either normal or EX so I can't comment.
