Hi,
I have been using a sigma 17-70 for a year or so and I decided to upgrade it.
My initial decision was to make a set of primes:
zenitar 16 (not a fan of ulta wide but nice to have)
DA21
FA35 (I may replace with a DA40)
DA70
Now, in the prime setup, I have only DA21 missing.
However,while I was discussing with one of my friends, he said that I should have bought a DA* 16-50 instead of these primes. The reason is:
Flexibility of a zoom,
overall price,
comparable image quality to the primes.
SDM and weather seal.
My point in choosing the prime set was that:
Better IQ
More compact body
Faster focus
What are your comments about choosing the above prime setup vs. DA* 16-50?
Thanks.
By the way, I have been following the forum passively for a long time and I decided to be active and this is my first post.
