Sigma 70-200mm vs Tamron 70-200mm F2.8

That's a given in a "Shooter or Camera" debate.

But what if the "indian" is asked to choose between a sharp & a dull arrow?

Would he pick the dull one kay abi maayo naman xa nga indian? or would he rather not pick any?

# a dull arrow is better than no arrow at all...

# a dull arrow can still be deadly...

# a dull arrow can potentially be sharp enough


syempre ang maayo na indian kamao mu pili sa saktong tools na gamiton...
but kaya pud niya gamiton what is available and make the most out of it...

my take on the matter..."by the best most expensive you can afford..."
if you can't afford it...stop drooling about it and get the next best cheaper lens...the one you can afford...

btw, just to point out, both of the lenses are fantastic...
they are way better than any tele zoom lenses out there...
so if pro photographers can get away with fantastic photos using the 55-200/55-250/70-300/75-300 lenses, there is no reason you can't make either lenses work like a charm and produce fabulous images (other than your a lousy shot)

btw personally i prefer the sigma ex lens over the tamron

I heard that sigma has some AF issues w/ the early release of this lens (failure was due to HSM rollers sticking)...
Can anybody confirm this?

Ang mga bangi-itan nga shooter pero dili ka-afford ug mahalong nga pana ky mo-ingon jud nga sa skill na magdaog pero ang mga bangi-itan pod nga shooter + kwartahan dili lang mo-comment pahipi lang sa kilid

dara ang usa sa tubag ana oh:

# a dull arrow is better than no arrow at all...

Mao na akong pasabot. Ang pangutana sa TS kay Tamron or Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 nya ang reply kay simang kaau naabot naman hinuon ug Indian-Pana.
Naa ba diay Indian nga mo-shoot way gamitay ug arrow?

OnT:
I'm following this thread, reading feedbacks from first-hand users kay I've been considering & saving for the Sigma 70-200. Pero minus lagi ng ma pakpak ang coating.

if i were to choose. without a doubt. i would go for tamron 70-200 2.8. i got my tamron 17-35 early this year and so far i have no problems with it. very satisfied with the picture quality.. right now im saving for that lens and hopefully someday that lens will find its place in my canon's body.. wohoooo..
