sigma_30_f1-4Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM (old)

Pros: Focal length, brightness, sharpness already at room temperature, equipment, pleasing bokeh

Cons: The usual home Sigma chance to run into problems with a copy of AF, only optical camera APS-C

Opinion: I have this lens for a few months, I use it on a 550D and I can say very satisfied. After the initial disappointment due to the fact that the lens suffered from front focus, solved with a free ride in AD Service, I started to appreciate it more and more. Very bright, very versatile, lightweight and relatively small, you can carry around all day without feeling the need to change lenses too. Its focal length allows you to use this lens for street, portraits and landscapes ambientati. Great for those short trips of 2-3 days in air port where you only hand luggage and you can not portre below too much weight. The sharpness is very good already at f1.4 and further improves turning a bit 'the diaphragm. The quaità construction seems good, and the equipment that is to be welcomed home with Sigma provides objective (handbag and parluce). The autofocus is fast and accurate enough, there is only a slight performance degradation in low light (although I believe that these benefits are influenzate body machine). Lacks stabilization, but shooting at 1.4 and being in times of security I have never felt the need, even in the evening, and given that this gimmick would have pushed the price and weight of the lens, I think it best that there is.

canon_efs_17-55_f2-8Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM

Pros: Sharpness already at room temperature, comparable to some fixed quality with the versatility of a zoom, f2.8, stabilizer, autofocus very fast and quiet

Cons: high price, not compatible with full frame camera bodies

Opinion: And 'the lens more "serious" and expensive for my modest outfit, and I use it mounted on a 550d. When I bought it I was in doubt because of the high cost, but every time I use it I repeat that I do not sell anything, except to move to a full frame camera body. In his hand is quite large and heavy, but if you think it is a f2.8 stabilized, it is normal to be so. The building in my view is not plasticky, of course, for what it costs you might expect something more, but call it "plastic" I find it totally exaggerated. When it starts to use it you realize that on many occasions (indoors or outdoors after sunset) the combination f2.8 + stabilizer allows you to make freehand shots unthinkable for people like me who was accustomed to slow more " dark. " The sharpness is then L (I tried the bianchino of a friend and I did not notice much difference) and the bokeh is very pleasant. I noticed, as mentioned by other users, who suffers from a lot of the flare, which is why I equipped with original lens hood (a little 'too big but nice solid) and try not to use it in landscape photography. I have not noticed this trend, however, lamented by many, to infiltrate dust. For me, a lens recommended, the use of which has made me a certain "dependence" :). Rating 9

tamron_70-300vcTamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD

Pros: Very rugged, very good image quality, very effective stabilizer, autofocus fast, quiet and precise, relatively light price.

Cons: stabilizer a tad bit noisy, a bit soft at 300mm at room temperature

Opinion: It 's my first and only lens of home Tamron and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised: the 350 (or so) euro spent on this lens is a very low figure when you consider what it can offer. The feeling of strength as soon as it is removed from the boxes is amazing (even the hood gives the impression of being nice solid and durable), the zoom ring does not have games and offers the right amount of resistance. Once mounted on the machine surprising effectiveness of the stabilizer (to a first approach seemed a bit 'noisy, but it has never been a problem, especially because it plays very well his work) as well as the prowess of autofocus ( which has the convenient full time manual focus, which I have been able to benefit in some situations). The images obtained with this paintings are very good throughout the focal range, there is a slight decrease if you use at room temperature to the maximum focal length, defect, however minor and resolvable chiudento to 7.1. Last but not least, I really like the bokeh offered by this lens for all of these features, consider it a good buy. Every time I pull it out from the bag I think I was right to buy it and will replace it (maybe) when and if I decide to make the leap to move to the 100-400L.

canon_efs_18-135Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS

Pros: Small and lightweight, focal length range from "handyman", effective stabilizer, AF fast enough if there is not enough light, proposed target at a good price with the camera body

Cons: Chromatic aberrations quite substantial, sometimes faint

Opinion: I purchased the kit lens with my 550D and I must say that for a beginner like me carries out its job of "handyman". Of course, the sharpness is not record-breaking, it is not bright and the AF is in trouble when there is little light (nothing serious though) but the price is competitive, and the focal length is generous and avoids having to change very often 'goal. In addition, closing the aperture a bit and taking in light conditions you can get decent shots really deserving. I recommend buying especially with the camera body (so you save on the purchase price) instead of the less versatile 18-55, if I could go back I definitely riprenderei. Great start to take its first steps into the world of photography.
