Need baya ka mag-post process if you shoot in RAW (fyi, you need to shoot in RAW if you plan to join the Sinulog Photo Contest).

Ok ra ang 70-200 f/4.0 IS... pero try daw if ma-stretch nimo imong budget to 70-200mm f/2.8 IS (maskin dili MkII).

Usually man gud, mga dagko ug min aperture ang kasagaran sa mga high end nga lens plus laing mga chuvaness. Pero that does not mean nga gamay ug filter size, dili napud nindot image quality. Take for example ang 50mm f/1.8.... I think 55mm ra na xa pero nindot ug image quality. I think naa pud ko manual focus nga lens na 52mm ang filter size, mas sharper pa to sa akong ex-50mm f/1.8

@TS: Canon L lens.. sharp na tanan... apil na sa presyo.. hehehe... pero ang pangutana unsa man gud imu gusto i.shoot? kay kung wa ka sure or "bisan unsa" imu i.shoot mas better stick nlng sah sa imu lens naa karon na 17-50 tamron..

[johnmangui]

if 24-70 nya crop body ari nlng kos 17-55 2.8 oi. uraura rag prisyo.

i own both 70-200 f4 and f2.8 non-is tanan and 24-70 f2.8 and 28-135 3.5-5.6 IS.

akong masulti lang, lahi2x na sila ug gamit tanan. ang 70-200 f4 sharp even at f4 and ideal for travel and street photography (para lang nko ha). ang f2.8 ideal for portraits, low light and sports.

ang 24-70 f2.8 ideal for portraits, lowlight and landscapes (for FF bodies). ang 28-135 is also ideal for travel if you are using FF body.

i choose 28-135 over the 24-105 ky 2 reasons...first, ang presyo ug 2nd ang focal length. IQ wise, slightly difference lng daw.

tanawa usa kng unsa imong ganahan gamitan aron maka decide ka. pero akng ma advice sa imoha, buy the high-end lens just in case mo upgrade ka ug FF. kay FF needs expensive glass to utilize its capability.

Why exactly do you want a clinically sharp lens? If you plan on shooting women with it, prepare to do a lot of post-processing afterwards. My wife hates my el-cheapo 50mm 1.8 because at f/2.8, it already shows every skin imperfection she has. Why can't I take photos of her daw like those found in FHM? If you plan on shooting everything else and really want a sharp lens, take a look at actual photos of the lenses mentioned above. I usually visit flickr and not lens review sites. While MTF charts and other 'scientific' means of assessing IQ are available, I rely on these after I have taken a look at the actual photos. Take for example the Canon 28 1.8 vs 35 2.0. The former is newer but I like the latter's soft borders and corners and very sharp center. It makes the photo 3D like. For the zoom lenses, I have none of the above but I will probably go for the 24-105 not because it's sharper but simply because it has the most useful focal lengths for any occasion. We all wish for the day when Nikon or Canon or any of the camera manufacturers would produce a 10-1600mm f/0.95 lens that is less than 1KG and most of all as cheap as a kit lens.

10-1600mm f/0.95 nga pancake pa jud. heheheh.

pero seriously. i agree with all of your points. if ako ang TS, i'd stick with the 17-50 nlng until mka decide ko for myself kung unsa jud nga zoom ang gamit. as for me, I usually shoot with dbgg1979 at weddings and my favorite lenses are: the Canon 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM, and the Canon 70-200 f/2.8L Non-IS. That's what I always shoot with.
