Imagine if that was the kit lens instead of 18-55 and variable aperture bullshit
People would have a much better time learning
Congrats on the lens!

NICE!
i think im getting this for my t2i because of the constant ap. and vibration compensation and it looks great for video.

yet i still kinda wanna get the canon 17-40 f/4.ol

I have that lens as well. It's a great compliment to the 1.3x crop of my 1dmk4, super wide without any loss of dof

This is a stop faster, has more zoom, and vib reduction. I'd suggest it over the L glass, even though that is nice

and much wider on a 1.6 crop
I do agree though, L glass = ( . )( . )

L glass is nice, but for the same price you could pick up some Zeiss primes.

Zeiss > Canon L

I'm realizing that when i'm on the hill primes are going to be so much harder to work with, but I guess for the quality you have to make sacrifices

i had the same dilemma but the tamron is actually sharper than the canon in most cases..

+ shooting sports and even indoor life sucks with f/4 cuz you'll need high iso..

when i get to buy a telephoto though i'd buy a canon L for sure..

zoom lenses are for people who don't want to use their legs. I'd rather walk another X ft. if it means having edge-to-edge sharpness.

while I somewhat agree, edge to edge sharpness is not exclusive to primes, there are plenty of quality zooms

work?

no zoom lens that is less than $3,000 is going to match the edge-to-edge sharpness of Zeiss primes.
Zoom lenses are great for telephoto. But for wide angle, primes win all the way.
Although I am utterly surprised at the IQ of Tokina wide angles for being non-primes. My Tokina 11-16 acts damn near a prime at 11mm.
