Well after my previous post about wanting a new lens im gonna be following all that up fairly soon. The Sigma 10-22mm is on the cards, but for the zoom lens im still stuck.
I had a look at an L series lens today, and altho it was nice, it was quite bulky especially with the slide mechanism on the lens itself, means thats yet more length on the camera. However sat next to it on the shelf was a Sigma
Sigma 100-300mm f/4 EX DG HSM Lens
(http://www.jessops.com/Store/s32760...aspx?&IsSearch=y&pageindex=2&CatId=143&comp=y)
To be honest, it had a better feel and i generally preffered it over the L series. I know the L series is a better lens, quality, but for an extra £300, i wasnt so sure.
Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5/5.6L USM Image Stabilised

that was the L series lens. Very nice but worth paying the extra for?
But looking ive found for the same money as the other sigma,
Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX DG HSM
http://www.jessops.com/Store/s28977...-f-and-4-63-EX-DG-HSM-(Canon-AF)/details.aspx
Basically i need some help, and advice on understanding the differences. The feel of the first sigma was great in the shop, but the L series has the backing of thousands of other users out there and more durable, weather wise. And the last one being 50-500mm a more usable len in different applications with the wider range.
But what do you guys think? What are the differences in the F numbers? Also how are they for price, Jessops is about my only local camera shop, so ive had a go with the first sigma and L series lens, wouldnt mind buying off the net if its gonna save me anything?
Help much appreciated.
Cheers
Andrew
