Sigma vs. Tamron for EOS?

this is an anti Sigma group, you should go ask on dpreview.com forums
instead.

Since that last thread was so popular ;-)

In general is Tamron glass better, worse or the same as Sigma?

I've never tried any Tamron lenses and was considering trying a 28-75
f/2.8
or even the 28-300 since it seems the magazines rate them so highly (not
too
bad on Fred Miranda dot com, too).

Compared to some people, not at all...

No.

With me the simplest answer is usually the answer. I dropped my lens and
shattered the back elements. So I took a 12" spike and broke the front
element. I then cut an arrow in two and placed it in the lens. Used tissues
to stick the arrow into the back element to support is.

I really loved that lens. Thanks for looking... Dave

28-70/2,8 EX.

See Chuck's posts. I believe the lens reffered to is the lens that gets "shot".
I may be wrong, trying to id a lens from its look via the Sigma webpage is not
that easy.

Cheers,
Alan

is a Sigma EX 2,8/28-70. Period.

Say what it is (or you believe it is) without the condescending "period" crap.
