I am just another guy who just taken up photography as a social hobby who enjoys taking pics of everyday life, social events / parties & some portraits. Need camera for short overseas trip (2-3 times a year), maybe some landscape pics.
I have done some research and have come up a list of main lenses that I am considering and hope you guys can offer some advice / comments to whether I should make those purchases.
Main reason why I chose "third party lenses" 'cos apparently they cost less, newer and are "award winning" - so I don't see the point of spending more for the original canon lens (which some maybe quite old - ie 3-5 yrs).
- Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC MACRO OS HSM Lens (day to day lens)
- Sigma 85mm F1.4 EX DG HSM (for portrait & bokeh effects)
- Wide angle lens (any suggestions)
Main questions / comments please...
- Q1) What do you think of the lens choices that I have decided to build my kit?
- Q2) Any wide angle lens that you will recommend? (third party or canon) or should I get wide angle zoom lens ?
- Q3) What are your thoughts that I chose all my lens from Third Party instead of Official Canon ones... is that a "smart move"?
