Hello everybody :hail:
I recently bought a new Sony Alpha 300 to use with the standard lens (sony 18-70) and my older Minolta lenses (28-80 and 75-300). After some tests, I'm not so stasfied with the quality of these and wondered how to upgrade them. A few idea's came to me:
- One 28-300 lens from Sigma, but the image quality doesn't seem to nice
- One 70-200 lens from Sigma (F2.8) but i'm not sure 200 will be enough.
- One 28-70 lens from Sigma (F2.8 also)
- One 105 lens (F2.4) lens from Sigma for portraits.
On the points that need to be available:
- Compatible with the Sony Alpha 300 (obviously)
- Compatible with the Minolta Dynax 505 Si (my older camera for B&W photgraphy)
- Less than 700$ / lens (well, closer to less than 550's as I live in Brussels )
So, the question I had here is:
- Would 200 be enough as a zoom?
- Is there any 70-300 lens with something better than F3.5 - F6?
The idea would be to have 1 or 2 all rounders (for portraits, landscapes, a little macro and such on (the 28-70 and the 70-300) and one for portraits (the 105 lens)
Many thanks for your advices
