yes, from what i heard, nissin and sunpak are same. just the LCD panel and the wireless ability. better go for nissin since it has the wireless ability and cheaper

Wow, new thread!

I don't know Nissin Di622 has wireless capability until now

So in order to use the wireless built inside the Nissin Di622, we need to either use a master like 580EXII or a wireless trigger?

C is so hard to compete with S and N in terms of quality, price and the 'Canon' words

Raymannlucass,

Wanna ask, why don't consider Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC Macro Autofocus Zoom Lens (price around RM 1.5k)? this len also can do macro. In term of performance, I not sure whether it is as good as Tamron 17-50mm.

I did post the same question in third party len thread, but no one response.... haih.

viking2k answered ur question....

well talking about my kitlens replacement, im having a list here listed down my needs...

Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 (IF)
Tamron 24-70 F2.8
Sigma 17-70 F2.8 - 4.5
Sigma 18-50 F2.8
Tamron 28-75 F2.8
Sigma 24-70 F2.8

so with that i started my research by reading reviews and verdicts of every lens...and narrow down my scope on

tamron17-50mm F2.8, and sigma 17-70 F2.8-4.5..

im crossing those left is becoz i feel i need a wider angle lens coz i had been used to my kitlens and i think i cudnt leave without the wide angle...

i dun mind walk up step forward to get a nearer picture...

i have tried tamron 17-50 F2.8 and the result seems very good...

here's the example...

Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 is not as sharp compared to Tammy 17-50mm f2.8.
If you wanna get a macro lens, got for Sigma 105mm f2.8 Macro.

Hi Viking,

I have a doubt here. Siggy 105mm F2.8 can't zoom rite? will it be a waste if i getting this len? i mean it is better if i get Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro?

Please enlighten me.

From what I've read, u just use the pop up flash n it will trigger the Nissin622. Nonid for extra items. That's the thing that's really attractive to me coz my Sony flash is just like that. Just pop up the flash n trigger the flashgun with pop up. Nice n simple.

it depends on what you shoot, my 100mm macro double up as my medium tele portrait lens, super sharp at f/2.8 and nice bokeh. I have also use it to shoot birds at zoo when I need longer reach and even shoot stage during event.
But if you don't really shoot macro much, I suggest you to get the Sigma 70-300 probably would be better.

yup for nissin just pop the built in flash to trigger it, which means you can also use another external flash to trigger it.

It depends on what you need. If you need bigger magnification ratio, go for dedicated macro lens like Sigma 105mm f2.8 Macro. 70-300mm f4-5.6 is just a moderate telelens with mild macro performance.
