Need lens suggestion...

[N'Kolor]

Okay, I finally made up my mind and placed my order. Here is what I wanted and what I bought.

I shoot family portraits, indoors and out...mostly outdoors. Wide isn't extremely important to me and once it becomes import or I see a need for it, I will get the 12-24 f4 lens. I like a little bit of distance. The families I shot with my old Canon were mostly done at 40-85, so if I was to get the 17-55, I would only have the last 15mm of lens that would really get used. Since I am NOT a huge fan of primes since I only have 1 body, those are out of the question...even though I own one.

I decided on the 24-70, now I realize this isn't the best lens for DX but it works AND I do plan to go to FX one day and don't want to have wasted money on a DX lens.

I have a shoot this weekend with two young boys (my cousins) 7 and 10 yrs old. I should have the lens on Wednesday and I will let you all know how the shoot went.

Thanks for all of your help!

That lens received a below average review on AF speed and the AF's ability.

I realize you already bought your new lens, just wanted to let you know that the link you posted is not the newest version of the Sigma. Good luck with everything.

Oh I see. Well, 50mm is just too short IMO anyway.
