Sigma 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro Art

Pros: Sharpness, build quality, weather sealing

Cons: Autofocus (although I rarely use it)

Opinion: I bought this lens to get closer to "documentary" macro photography, rather than "artistic". The lens in question totally satisfied me from all points of view: excellent sharpness even at wider apertures, tropicalized, and with a good build quality and materials. The pleasant blur allows it to be used, despite the focal length of only 70mm, even for close-ups a little more ambient. The only flaw (although personally I didn't find it a big problem) is the external focus, equipped with a scale with magnification ratios. The weight, objectively, is not negligible; However, you can still use the lens handheld, despite the lack of stabilizer and the decidedly slow autofocus. Surely this lens gives its best when used on a tripod. The price is in line with the other brands.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM

Pros: Price, lightness, focal length range, portability, stabilized, good AF in many situations, quite sharp

Cons: "Plastic" construction quality, hood not included, brightness, not very sharp over 200mm, vignette at maximum focal lengths, color rendering.

Opinion: Excellent purchase as medium-tele to start, also considering the quality / price ratio. I have been using it for two years now and I must say that in "easy" situations it copes quite well (obviously for its price range). I was not thrilled by the "off" colors that it makes to all focal lengths, and the vignetting is very present, although obviously correctable in PP. Comfortable to take with you on excursions as a handyman, easy to use thanks to the generally effective AF. In conclusion, I recommend this lens to those who want to start by spending little, then moving on in the future to better alternatives such as sigma / Tamron / Canon L. Rating:7,5/10
