harry_diament Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I recently bout a 10D and just have a 50mmf1.8 lens. I need a wide angle for general shooting and was comparing the Canon 20-35 versus Tamron 17-35 Di. On the surface the Tamron seems to offer a lot more for just a little more money. I'm an interested in what everyone thinks are the pros and cons between the two lenses, or is there a better idea in a similar price range? ThanksHarry Diament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakim_peled1 Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Which 20-35, the f/2.8 L or the f/3.5-4.5 USM? Do you NEED the 17-20 range? Have you considered the Sigma 12-24? After all, it's your only option to get really wide on a DSLR. Happy shooting ,Yakim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_diament Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 Yakim, I am referring to the f3.5 USM Lens, the extra 3mm would be nice but not critical, I am more concerned about usability and the quality of the images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_weissman Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Kudos for the amron Di 17-35 2.8. I have been using that lens with my 10D for about 6 weeks and I have not been disappointed. The lens may not be a Canon L lens but for the money you are getting a top notch lens. Was reviewed in PopPhoto in January and I compared thr review with the 17-40L. It looked like the Tarom beat out the Canon. I gave it a shoot....lucky me. My shots are sharp, clean, on the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Katz Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 The Canon 20-35 USM is a very nice lens and maybe the safer bet for film, but on a 10D, 3mm is not insignificant (effective view of 32mm vs 27mm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfred_m_rand Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 By the Tamron with confidence. I have quite a few samples shot with this utterly fabulous lens. http://www.pbase.com/wilfredmrand/<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
