Hello,
I have a Canon 5D mark II and want to buy a new lens. Basically I was going to buy the SIGMA 24-70 DG macro, but then I have seen that there was the HSM version (but with bokeh issues) and the new Sigma 17-70 HSM. Now I am quite lost. In the analysis, it seems that the 17-70 has better specs. But it does not open at 2.8 in the full range. So I am just wondering if any of you has tested those lenses and if you can tell me which one you prefer ? I use a lot the bokeh in my pictures. Maybe if there are other and better lenses for less than 1000 $ ?
Thanks
