View Full Version : canon or sigma 70-200 f/2.8? John Edward Taca 10-31-2006, 11:11 PM im using a canon 30d and will be in the market for a tele soon. does anyone have comparative experience on the two lenses? what would be fair price for these lenses now? thanks! :) James_Limsoc 10-31-2006, 11:31 PM I think the price of the canon 70-200 f2.8L would be 64k to 68k while the IS version would be 94k-98k not really sure about the price of the sigma MikeDougan 11-01-2006, 01:35 AM The Sigma is listed at 50,500 on JT Photo's web site. http://www.jtphotoworld.com/products/pricelist/Sigma.pdf Mike Glenn Francisco 11-01-2006, 09:16 AM you'll never go wrong with the canon 2.8... just be careful with the sigma, i read that there are copies that has OOF sides..(either left or right)... not an L, but still considered really sharp. John Edward Taca 11-02-2006, 08:54 AM thanks for the pricelist mike! glenn, whats oof? fidel_mercado 11-02-2006, 08:56 AM OOF = Out-of-focus. Nono Felipe 11-02-2006, 09:19 AM I've owned the sigma before buying the canon. IMHO, go for the Canon to spare yourself from buying the sigma then selling it after some time only to get the Canon. As for quality, the Sigma is a small bit warmer but the Canon is sharper and faster to focus. arlene solis chua 11-05-2006, 02:33 PM is the 10-20mm sigma ok? ...or the same problem out of fucos Randall Cipriano 11-05-2006, 03:28 PM OOF = Out-of-focus. I thought OOF! was a sound you make when you realize you had a lemon lens. Haha! fidel_mercado 11-05-2006, 03:38 PM Hahahaha, you just cracked me up Randall. :D john_javellana 11-05-2006, 10:16 PM have the same problem, i'm saving up for a tele also... but ibang iba talaga yung 70-200 2.8 of canon.. you'll understand why it's priced that way once you get to experience what it's capable of! i'd go for the L... :) JPSarmenta 11-05-2006, 10:38 PM i have that particular canon lens with IS. absolutely loving it when taking portrait shots. it's one of my fave lenses. i don't mind the weight at all. when i see the pictures afterwards every peso is worth it. amboyguevara 11-09-2006, 08:25 PM I've owned the sigma before buying the canon.

As for quality, the Sigma is a small bit warmer but the Canon is sharper and faster to focus. this is what i was thinking.... eventually... all roads leads to an 'L'... somewhere... somehow! so i'm saving up for a 70-200mm f/2.8L para no regrets in the end... :) |
