Good lense for everyday stuff :)

I am very very low budget photographer at this point, where ever I can squeeze money for something bit better stuff than I have, I buy it, but I read about it first. Sigma 28-70 has not much going on review wise and I don't know why. Even with little review, I took my chance and purchased it because of a job I got. I have a Canon Rebel XT Digital and first impression with this lens, horrible (!). I took some samples compared with my 50 mm 1.8 Canon lens, 18-55 kit lens and results were not that good. I put it back into box and was ready to return. When the job day arrived, I thought I should give it a try in real life and maybe it works better in real life than tests and start shooting with it all night under fluorescent lights. Unfortunately my kit lens wasn't fast enough and 50 mm was not wide enough for the job, I basically didn't have other option.
After I got home, and saw the results, I totally changed my mind about the lens and decided to use it as my prime. With ISO 800 and around 2.8-3 stops I had pretty good shutter speed for fast moving kids around in not so lid location.
I am posting a few photos of my son that I took, and you be the judge. I think you wouldn't believe those images came from this lens. If you are not so picky and low budget, this is a companion for your 50 mm 1.8 lens... I am going to get a better lens in the future, I have my eyes on Tamron 28-75 for a very nice price but I still keep the Sigma 28-70 for all around use... and yes it has glare problems :( which can be worked out. I gave 4 stars, because honestly it does good job for the price :) |
