Originally posted by Teja For my walk-about lens, I got the Sigma 24-135mm f/2.8-4.5 Aspherical IF Lens from Cameta.
It is well-built, nice and sharp, and I like the range very much.
Only downside is the size and weight - 19 oz (0.5 kg).
Is going for US $150 at
Amazon.com and on
eBay, in case you'd be interested.
Cheers.
I don't get what's going on with the pricing of the 24-135. It's now listed on Amazon for $360, it's on bhphotovideo for about the same, it's on sigma4less for $200 and on ebay for $150?? Why the huge price differences? I've never purchased a lens from ebay, is Cameta Camera reliable?
I can't make up my mind between the Sigma 18-125, the 24-135 or the Tamron 28-75, price being a bit of a factor I'm leaning more towards one of the Sigmas. I'm looking for a lens that's a pretty good low light performer but that's also a decent walkaround lens (I currently have the 18-55 and 50-200 for my K100). I'm leaving for vacation in just over 3 weeks so I need to make up my mind.
