Hi thanks just researched this and no they are not suitable for those lenses. I'm looking at the sigma 50-200 F4-5.6 OS with the OS I might just get away with it. Cheers

Cheers, do you know about the sigma extender with the sigma lens?

Hi, my kit was all based on low light gig photography, subsequently I have a 50mm F1.8 and a Sigma 24-60 F2.8. I may have an opportunity to shoot an indoor event (no flash) which will require focal lengths (I would guess) in the 70-100 range. I cant afford a fast lens to suit so my...

Matt Did you ever get this sorted? Interested to know what you ended up with. Cheers

Do they?, are you sure? .............people upgrade to the 'pro' account for the extra functions and storage.

The weight swung the 24-60 in my favour its quite a smaller lens, especially when you consider it will live on a 350d with no grip. I dont think I'll miss 10mm at the long end

Managed to get a used 24-60 quite a bit cheaper than a new 24-70 from Jessops so it was an easy decision in the end:thumbs:

At what focal length does it start to go above 2.8 please?

Thanks........ is that based on personal experience? The 24-60 is discontinued now I believe, so that really leaves the 24-70. Could well be a trip to jessops in the morning, unless a 24-60 pops up on ebay? How much do they go for used? Cheers

Is that purely based on the slightly wider angle of the 24? If thats the only difference I think the 28 would swing it because: It is the same at the long end Its a physically smaller lens 24-28 is not massive just a step backwards Cheaper filters If there is anything else to...

cheers 28-70 or 24-70? cant see the any major difference in the 2 apart from the physical size and macro capability of the 24-70 (which I dont need)

bump as I've changed the question!

Just about to buy a Sigma to replace my Canon EF 24-85 F3.5-4.5. Does anyone have any experience of the 2 lenses? I prefer the pysical size of the 28-70, I need something to compliment my nifty 50 at gigs. Cheers

Boiling hot water, pour on leave to soak 30 seconds - wipe off

I'd llike to add some things to this thread. Unless a band has specifically asked you to photograph them, why should you expect them to pay for your photographs? If you get asked to take photos and you want to earn money, you should be upfront about any fees and agree them first. I've...
