Lens suggestion for travel with 450D

stevenyu2000

Sorry for in using English as I am in office and cannot type chinese now.

Dear all,

I am planning to buy a lens for my 450D. Buget is under HKD $4000.
I have 3 lens now, I will bring 1 of them and with the new lens for travelling in Jan
EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS Kit Lens
FF 50mm F1.8 II
EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS

There are 4 choice, very hard to choose

1. Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM ( best PQ but maybe not enought zoom range for travel )
2. Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC MACRO ( can replace my Kit lens )
3. Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 EX DG MACRO ( more tele but not enough wide , but DG series can use in FF )
4. Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC OS MACRO HSM ( new lens have OS and HSM but not EX series , very concern about the PQ not as good as the EX F2.8 series. )

Other any suggestion for me , many thanks.

多貼一點錢買原廠嗎不是很好嗎??
Canon EF 16-35/f2.8 L在內地賣5,000RMB左右~在香港應該更便宜吧??
對APS-C來說~這個焦段當旅遊鏡應該剛剛好~
您列的那幾隻...與您手上現有的都焦段重疊的問題~
Sigma的鏡頭是不錯啦~但是差一點點的話~直接上 L 吧~~

2. Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC MACRO ( can replace my Kit lens )

EF 16-35 F2.8L cost over HKD $6000 and hard to find.
EF 16-35 F2.8L II over HKD $10000 .

Seems L lens was far away from me.

出國去玩我覺得變焦比較方便啦~~
因為你已經有佳能平民三寶,所以我[s:137]sigma 30mm這隻..
17-70mm開始賣了嗎?我在dcview有看到,功能確實很吸引人(可惜沒恆定光圈)
不過沒用過,所以也不知道好不好用??

出國去玩,還是省點錢吧[s:12]

Dear Steven:
Ha! I think so too.
May I propose other lenses?
I think tamron B005E is the good choice.
The following is the test of B005.

Thanks for your suggestion, this really another choice for me but there are some question here.

I think the B05 was the upgrade version of A16 which add VC here.
But there is a compare of S17-50 F2.8 to A16 , http://www.dcfever.com/news/readnews.php?id=2478
It seems Sigma was better. But there is no compare of B05 and sigma in PQ and performance. And B05 cost HKD$4500 , there was around more than sigma HKD$1000. Do you think B05 cost more than Sigma was valueable ?

Thanks for so many questions.

用現有的就夠了! HKD$4000 用在旅途不是更好嗎?
或者... 存起來買EF 17~40/16~35 也不錯阿!

Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 是畫質評價甚至超過原廠同焦段的一支好鏡,
用在APS-C是相當於38.4-112mm, 不過其實也已經很夠用了~

I think B005 is the brand-new lens. It is not a upgrading edition of A16.Shade and distortion of the corner have already been improved.However, SIGMA is really a very good lens. I hope to get the lens suitable for you......[s:47]

意外地從朋支手中以低價(HKD $1200連原厰hoop)入手一枝 Canon EF 28-200mm F3.5-5.6 USM , 想信帶這個會來得更方便. 而我是否應該賣出我手上的 EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS 呢 ? 因為少影生態及焦段重復 ! 還是不應該買入 28-200 呢?

那入手目標應該是 S30.4 ( 室內用及為PQ ) , 這想法對嗎?
