- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Yes, it's a frequented question.
In AUD, the Tamron costs $500. The Canon costs $800.
I am aware that in other places, the difference is not much... but it is here.
I know the Tamron extends, but I'm afraid that if I photograph an insect, it might fly away due to the extending lens. However, I hear its bokeh is good.
I've also considered the 60mm... but think that I might as well get the 90/100mm for portrait shots.
Can the 60mm do portrait (good, that is) shots as well?
I know it isn't compatible with higher end models. I MIGHT change...
Also, background more blurred... 60mm is around $350.
I think I'll cross that out, actually.
Pros for Tamron:
- recessed lens, meaning no need for lens hood
- lighter
Cons for Tamron:
- extending lens would get annoying
- might not work on later Canon models
Pros for 100mm:
- no extending lens
- USM
- works on all Canon models
Cons for 100mm:
- with lens hood, is bigger than extended lens on Tamron
