The new battle of the pro standard zooms! - Brightcolours - 10-09-2017 Indeed, the two 16-35mm lenses, the 24-70mm f2.8 and the 70-200mm f2.8 II are very good zoom lenses. But the new Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 E is now even better than the Canon counter part, and the Tamron 24-70mm offers IS. There is always something to complain about B) The new battle of the pro standard zooms! - davidmanze - 10-09-2017 Quote:Indeed, the two 16-35mm lenses, the 24-70mm f2.8 and the 70-200mm f2.8 II are very good zoom lenses.

There is always something to complain about B) Mixed opinions on the 70-200mm lenses, the Canon still holds up best at the long end, but maybe the VC/VR is the trump card here! Speaking of Canon temptations..... a white Canon EF 300mm f/4 USM L IS came up on the bon coin for 300 euros.....a bargain!...I almost got sucked in, needless to say the seller was bombarded with calls, it would have been worth buying a Canon body at that point. The new battle of the pro standard zooms! - Brightcolours - 10-09-2017 Whoa, that indeed is quite the bargain! I'd jump on that lens too. The new battle of the pro standard zooms! - Rover - 10-09-2017 Ditto, if nothing else it could've been resold for twice that amount down the road. It's either a case of criminal stupidity on the seller's part, or there's something fishy about the lens (stolen / broken / waterlogged etc.) The new battle of the pro standard zooms! - davidmanze - 10-20-2017 Well the final result of the shoot is rounded up by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPxYCvte54c The Tamron pips it overall....if I were looking for a 24-70mm F2.8 the Tamron G2 would be it! ...........grey market (eglobal) €1,000 ........... official market (FNAC) €1,400 |
