Product: Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 EX DC Macro (Canon Fit) Lens
I own way too many lenses - and still lust for more. A few months ago we decided to take down some of our nondescript pictures and put up some of my shots: A3 mounted and framed. Of the six up so far, three are with this lens. All three are grab shots at low light, f2.8 or f4 - visually sharp. All attract comments and requests for prints. The "macro" (ok 3:1 but still) is terrific. The HSM is good. It is slightly boring to have to remember to flick a switch to go to manual focus. But, to be honest, in low light, the AF will probably beat my feeble MF attempts andyway.
So, this is my favourite lens. Yes, I still have half-a-dozen others: bigger range, with VR, main brand, wider, longer, f1.4, etc. And I still want a few more. Ok, quite few more. And, yes, on holiday "take just one lens" this isnt always the one. But this is my favourite, of all of them. My walls dont lie.
