I'd feel very dirty ;) + I just ordered the 50mm :P

Also it'd be nice if the site had Nikon comparisons...

I see the Sigma 18-50 2.8 is listed on the same site, but no review.

I have the Canon 30 2, and like it....if the other one's better it must be a v good lens.

I think better is always a matter of perspective - some people can make a lens sing and yet others will never make that same lens do anything. . .

Chris,


I'll put that lens in the Canon Chorale then.....


I find that because I'm mostly interested in shooting moderate closeups of people that other people's lens use doesn't necessarily apply to me...
