Hello everyone.
I need some help choosing the next lens to pair with a future upgrade, 7d2. I shoot a bit of everything. Sports, events, wild life, landscape, macro and portrait. Video as well. Paid amateur that is looking to get deeper into the professional game.
I need a high quality walkaround lens for personal travel and fun. But sharp enough for any paid jobs that might come along. Im looking to replace the 2 kit lens I bought with the camera as I feel I've outgrown what they offer. Preferably something with a fixed focal length, somewhat light and manageable. Fast, at least F4. And sharp as a tact. Also if possible, one that isn't limited to only crop sensors. I plan to get a full frame way down the line. Budget is around 1k max ish, for this lens).
Current lenses
18-55 and 55-250 kit lens.
Sigma 18-35 1.8
Nifty Fifty
100 Macro F2.8
Sigma 100-300 F4 (which I need to repair the auto focus alignment)
It boils down to wanting a lens that I can pair well with the sigma 18-35. That is fast, somewhat light and affordable (So no 70-200 please! lol). And a great overall walkaround lens that somewhat fills the 35-150mm gap.
I have narrowed it down to these 3 but I'd consider anything else.
-Canon or sigma 24-105 f4. (This seems to be the one I like that most. But that overlap with the 18-35 bugs me a bit.
-Sigma 50-150 F2.8
-Tokina 50-135 F2.8
Any thoughts or suggestions here? I could really use some help. Thanks for your time and help!
