Canadians DA* 50-135

daacon · 11-28-2007, 05:38 AM

I was out at a mall last night and stopped into McBain Camera for a minute. They had the DA* 50-135 in stock and on sale believe it not ! I almost bought it haha. At least this price is more in line with what some of the US shops are selling it for. I am still debating on this or the DA* 16-50 I think the later is more my shooting style.

DA* 50 135 Now $1049 Cdn

Henry's has an ad in the Toronto Star today with the same price, but I am leaning towards the sigma 24-78 f/2.8 because it is a better fit between my sigma 10-20 and my 70-200 f/2.8

I sooooooooo want a 70-200 f2.8 missed one here in the forum market place - appears I came in second

I may wait for the 60-250 f4 or similiar. I have the 12 - 24 f4 / Tamron 28-75 f2.8 and am happy with those (see my sig for others). I will wait and see if Tamron or Sigma continue with 70-200 f2.8 I would snap that puppy up methinks.

I guess I was lucky, I bought mine when I got my *istD, deciding after 12 years of having an autofocus camera(PZ-1), I would finally treat myself to an autofocus zoom to replace my Series 1 70-210 f/3.5
