Having had my 24-105 since my first 'proper' Canon Eos and having a bit of spare money i thought it was about time to get a newer carry about lense , i originally thought of the 24-105 ii but all the reviews seem to say it's not that much of an upgrade on the original so i started looking around at the 24-70's .
Obviously the Canon gets outstanding reviews but for the lack of IS and the cost ! Though you can get it at HDEW for about £1,220 . About £1500 with cash back in normal shops at the moment .
The Sigma seems to get mixed reviews ranging from Excellent to below par , it has just won a TIPA award for best standard zoom and comes in at about £1200 or less but has IS .
I have nothing but praise for the 3 Sigma lenses i own but my question is has anyone use one or both and, have any thoughts on them ?
Is it worth paying the extra for the Canon ?
Thanks !
