    Lens for street/walkaround and maybe landscape?

    Thanks for the advices guys, but I've decided on the Sigma EX 30/1.4 DC HSM. I know it's more versatile to have a zoom but I feel it's more fun to have a fixed aperture and it's also "quicker" to take a photos as you know what kind of field of view you get all the time. Does that make sense at...

    Lens for street/walkaround and maybe landscape?

    I'm just bit afraid of the variable aperture, especially if I will shoot indoors sometime.

    Lens for street/walkaround and maybe landscape?

    Been looking at quite a few lenses for my Canon 60D. I will use it for street, walkaround and possibly some landscape. Canon EF 24/2,8 IS USM Canon EF 28/2,8 IS USM Canon EF-S 17-55/2,8 IS USM Canon EF 24-105/4,0 L IS USM As you can see I favour IS but I am not sure how important it is...

    Sigma 120-400/4,5-5,6 DG APO HSM OS vs. Canon 70-200/4,0 L USM

    I have decided to get the Sigma 120-400. Considering the fact that I will be outside in broad daylight using f/8 to get maximum sharpness out of the lens will not be an issue for me. I was on the Canon 300/f4 L IS USM + 1.4x TC trail for a while but I am afraid of getting a prime, I would like...

    Sigma 120-400/4,5-5,6 DG APO HSM OS vs. Canon 70-200/4,0 L USM

    So true, the review above actually puts the Sigma in same league as Canon 100-400. I am amazed how good it stacks up. http://darwinwiggett.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/lens-review-the-sigma-120-400-4-5-5-6-apo-hsm-telephoto-zoom/

    The weight is not an issue for me.

    Sigma 120-400/4,5-5,6 DG APO HSM OS vs. Canon 70-200/4,0 L USM

    Thanks alot. The thing that kinda makes me worried buying the 120-400 is all the mixed reviews on the internet, but I've realised alot of them are from 2008'ish and I can only imagine the "newer" 120-400's to be better. Am I right?

    Sigma 120-400/4,5-5,6 DG APO HSM OS vs. Canon 70-200/4,0 L USM

    This is such a hard decision. I'm afraid the Sigma won't have the IQ I am looking for, maybe I'm just too picky and should just go with it? Then again, with the 70-200/f4 L USM with a 1.4x TC the focal length would be 156-448mm on my crop body. GRRRRRRR

    Sigma 120-400/4,5-5,6 DG APO HSM OS vs. Canon 70-200/4,0 L USM

    Basically I can't come down to a decision because I see so many images of birds and squirrels or whatever where they are way under the 400m FL (check http://500px.com/Emyan) and get amazing images. Irene Mei who I linked basically does 100% of what I will do with wildlife.

    Sigma 120-400/4,5-5,6 DG APO HSM OS vs. Canon 70-200/4,0 L USM

    Would the 70-200 F4 L with 1.4x TC be BETTER in terms of IQ and sharpness vs. the Sigma 120-400? Still can't come down to a decision.

    Macro vs. Wildlife (birds, mammals)

    That's so true.

    Macro vs. Wildlife (birds, mammals)

    That's a great plan. Yeah that's what I'm thinking as well, I got a topic up on which telezoom to buy for wildlife but I am so worried my investment won't give me any satisfaction. With macro I know there is always TONS of stuff to shoot, you can go where you want, whenever you want and come...

    Those of you who do both, which is the most fun do you think?

    Sigma 120-400/4,5-5,6 DG APO HSM OS vs. Canon 70-200/4,0 L USM

    My budget is around the price of the 120-400, but I could wait a bit longer and save up for the 150-500 if I decide to go for it. I am not sure if I prefer FL or aperture, I can only say that I will be outside mostly during the day (from when the sun rises till it begins to go down and I lose...
