Hi everyone. I'm looking to upgrade my Canon 80D lenses. I currently have:
I started to look at other lenses to get better quality images. I was thinking about the 70-200 L lens (f/ 4 of course, the 2.8 would weigh too much while traveling for me). I wouldn't mind some better reach, either (like 300, or 400mm to get those long distance shots). Would I see a big difference in image quality between the 70-200 and the 55-250? I had the kit 50-300 and it was terrible, I found that I got way more detail from the 250 of the 55-250 than the 300 end of the 50-300. Will the same thing happen again with the 70-200 vs the 55-250? I did do some research and I found that my lenses are already quite sharp (with the exception of the 55-250mm), especially for my budget as a school teacher (especially now haha) and as a amateur photographer.
I did research on DXOMARK with the 70D and the lenses I was looking at and I saw that, for instance, the 55-250mm stm got a score of 12 (with a 8 perceived megapixels): Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM - DxOMark
The 70-300 L lens would give me 14 score and 9p-mpx, Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM - DxOMark
Those numbers show only a marginal improvement in quality, and spending around 1000€ for that marginal increase sounds absurd to do. I am thinking of the Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD (Maybe the G2? I can't find how it performs on APSC bodies).
Either way, I'm looking to upgrade my 55-250 stm (great for travel photography and maybe getting into wildlife photography) and / or my Sigma 17-50. I really like my Sigma but if I can get something that covers more range as an all rounder, then that would be great as my day to day, carry everywhere lens. Of course, I'd really like a jump in image quality.
Can anyone recommend any good lenses that perform well on APSC bodies or made for APSC bodies? I saw some videos that stated that not all FF lenses work well with APSC bodies. Thank you all in advance.
