Need advice from experts here. I've got RM3000.00 to burn. tongue.gif Plan to buy a new lens. Please look at my signature for my current lenses.
Two lenses came up in my mind:
1. Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L
2. Canon EFS 10-22mm

Please advice. Other lenses can also be considered. Thanks guys.

10-20

May I know why still consider 17-40 when you have 17-50 f2.8? The picture quality of both really that big difference?

That's why i am asking for advice. If the IQ is pretty much the same I think i have to skip it. Beside the weather sealing, some said the pic is sharper compared to the Tamron.

Err yeah that is another reason. I dun have L lens yet. But if the IQ is pretty much the same, then maybe i have to skip it. blush.gif

Don't waste your money on 17-40f4L.
It is for FF not for cropped.
IQ comparison?
Tamron 17-50mmf2.8 vs Canon 17-40f4L:

I find it funny on the ppl using 1740f4L with cropped body.
The lens range is short, f4 is small, not sharp and expensive.
Maybe it's the weather sealing feature they looking for. tongue.gif

Thanks for the advice and the link. It is 10-22 then. Will buy L lens once I upgrade to FF. smile.gif

I was in the situation before.
I choose the 17-40 L simply because I plan to upgrade to full frame, (2 more months !!!)
Of course you can get the 10-22 first and sell it off when you upgrade.

I agree! smile.gif

Guys,

Since its so difficult to find a shops that sells the Sigma 30mm here, I've found an online retailer.

http://www.tincheungcamera.com.hk/product/555

Any comments if i were to buy from this online shop?

Warranty wise, is it 1-yr international coverage? Can I send to local distributor when it comes to warranty claim?

I've read about the inconsistency in Sigma's QC, especially bad focusing. Any idea if Sigma's local distributor will help to calibrate the lens if I were to purchase from TinCheung?

I want to ask
rm1550 for used tamron 17-50 vc with hoya hd filter left 1 year warranty.
Good deal or not ?
*
The new one with Hoya HD filter should be around RM2005.00 I guess. So I think it is a good deal. Check the lens first for dust and test it with your camera.

@Sniper

Thanks! Still learning, most of my shots were underexposed(using Av) but since i'm shooting in RAW so, not so bad la biggrin.gif Also noticed that i need to keep changing my flash exposure compensation. Due to inaccurate TTL or it's like that?

My next picture smile.gif Will upload more when i upgrade my flickr pro account later. I need 18mp of goodness!! thumbup.gif
