Re: Next lens
I have the EF 28-80mm, f2.8-f4L USM and peak sharpness is at f5.6. (This lens preceded the EF 28-70L, which in turn preceded the current EF 24-70L.) For low light the f4 aperture, on the 24-105L, is not likely to give as crisp AF as an f2.8 aperture, just because the f2.8 triggers a special capability in the center AF.… -

I can second the vote for the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 an optically stellar performer. I love mine. It has one draw-back. When I had it mounted on anything from my old 20D to a 50D, it tended to hunt just a little bit in darker environs - like wedding receptions. When it achieves lock, it is right-on. As you are looking at the… -

Re: Next lens
I checked that lens out online a few months back, Art - saw an awful lot of reviews that, in addition to the usual focus-needed-calibrating-at-Sigma-Central issues, complained the AF wasn't really that fast and it hunts a bit in the dark, which leads me back to the same problems as I would have with the Tamron 28-75… -
Re: Next lens
Firstly, the Canon EF 135mm, f2L USM really is a very special lens and there is no zoom lens that can match its properties of sharpness at f2.8 (or f2 for that matter). No Canon or Nikon zoom has more than an f2.8 aperture. Only Olympus has the Zuiko Digital ED 14-35mm f2.0 and Zuiko Digital ED 35-100mm f2.0 zooms for…
