Which lenses for a potential 1d2, I have dilemma over.
Canon 24-70mm F2.8L USM really expensive ???. Canon F 28-135mm f3.5/5.6 IMAGE STABILISER USM sigma 28-70mm f2.8 EX CANON AF Tokina 28-80mm f/2.8 AT-X PRO (CANON AF).
Ok basic question, as I do a lot if low light stuff, do the image stabilisation lenses work ??
Dear Ian
The Canon 28 - 135 IS USM is not a great lens but it is small, light, cheapish and the IS works a treat. Problems are the barrel distortion and small light transmission.
What you really need to look for are the 'L' lenses as this denotes best quality.
I now have the new 70mm - 300mm DO lens which is amazingly small. The results are respectable and I use it in situations which make carrying a heavier lens impracticable.
