  i use a sigma 18-50 on my 20d. i'm somewhat of a "photographer." generally i find high end sigma lenses to be the same quality / better than low end canon lenses. no experience with tokina.

  Never used a Tokina, but Sigma's have served me well for the price (currently the only one I own is a 50mm macro).

  The Tokina is a true fisheye. The Sigma is an ultra-wide.

  • is there a sigma fish eye? or something better than tokina?– Meeklo

  perfect thread for a quick question.
  I am about to purchase a EOS 40D kit. I found the kit with two options for lenses. Option on is the EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM for $1664.95. Option 2 is the EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM for $1329.95. It option 1 really that much better of a lens? Or should I just buy the body and get a lens separate?

  • did you just hijacked my thread?– Meeklo1/6

    I never buy kits. Variable aperture lenses piss me off.– ismith2/6

    sorry meeklo, i just thought it was a good forum to add to.– capn_ron3/6

    the 17-85 is a good lens, and you get it pretty cheap for what its worth retail in the kit. my advice would be to sell it straight up and get a 17-40mm L– forcetwelve4/6

    17-85 is a brilliant all round lens - highly recommend it. It's quality and unlike the usual throwaway 'kit' lenses.– bananaman5/6

  I have a sigma 10:20 for a few weeks now and it hasn't really come off ever since ... I have a nikon d40x which means the auto-focus motor is in the lens. This makes it a bit bulkier and with the standard flash you get an shadow on the bottom of your pics...

  some examples:
