A bargain alternative to the Canon L 24-70
0 of 1 found this helpful When it comes to Canon lenses, Canon's own L series clean up where quality is concerned. There are a few particular focal lengths where third party lenses have a monopoly (Tokina's 11-16mm is wonderful) but for the most part the "L" lenses rule the roost. So what's the catch? They're very, very expensive.
The Sigma 24 - 70mm f2.8 EX DG can be had for around £250 second hand (usually complete with case, UV filter and box) while the Canon L equivalent holds it's value better, costing around £700 in the "used" market. The Sigma doesn't have silent focussing, and the finish quality is a little lower than the Canon L and isn't weather sealed, but the most important part — the images — are just as good to all but the most obsessive and trained eye. Charts may show otherwise, It's a heavy lens, but it's wonderfully sharp with a good range and only slight distortion at the extreme ends of focal range.
The decision comes down to money - is 15% more performance under very specific conditions worth 300% of the cost? If so buy the Canon L. If not, get the Sigma.
