Tamron lens for Canon Rebel Xti...what are your thoughts?
I will be getting a Canon Rebel XTi and I am trying to keep the cost down which is hard 'cause the camera body costs at least $672. I also need 2 diff. sized lenses. I'm considering purchasing the body and the lenses seperate.
Have you used Tamron brand lenses...does it have the same, better, or worse quality as a similar Canon lens? I'm looking at purchasing the...
-Tamron Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 Aspherical Lens
-Tamron Zoom Telephoto AF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 LD Macro Autofocus Lens
How much should I expect to spend on these lenses? Are they descent enough lenses? How do they compare/contrast to similar Canon lenses? What will this lens allow me to do...will the camera be able to focus by itself, or will I need to twist the lens and push and pull it in and out? Would I still have to do that with a Canon lens too? What does autofocus allow me to do
Do any of you work at Best Buy or Circuit City...when's the next Rebel XTi sale with the two lenses? lol.
hey...i hav used a couple of tamron lenses...and yes im please to say that im happy with the results that i get from my tamron lenses. Some of the lens are close to the Canon L lens...As long as u get a Good copy of it... Why not try the tamron 28-75mm lens F2.8 is a reali good lens..Afforable...and worth the value...
Its good for everday photography.
As in all zoom lens...for ALL brands u hav to push and pull to get ur likeable focus length unless u are using prime lenses. If ur lens hav an in-built AF then u would be able to use the AF function. What is AF...well its simlple it basically means auto-focus..with automatically focus the object when u half-pressed the shutter button.
