The "New Gear/Willy Waving" thread

On the flipside I had 2 70-200 2.8 IS L returned and swapped before getting a better copy and even then I wasn't happy with the lack of sharpness so returned it for the F4 IS L which walked all over the 2.8 at f4.

That was on the 350 and 40D of course.

So while Sigma did have a bad track record, Canon have been no better, not just the L range of lenses but others too. The 17-55 gathers dust beneath the front element and my one had IS servo failure , that lens may as well be L branded given the price! Luckily mine was serviced by Fixation though.

I had error 99 on my 24-70L too, it was within the first year, and the 70-200/4.0 is famous for being sharper than the 70-200 mk1. That's almost a given.

No one is perfect I guess.

I mean I do have a sigma 70-200!
 
Manual but on FF and the MF ring being so good, pee easy to focus - Though last time I handled one was years ago :(
 
My Zeiss lenses for the Contax are AF, if you send them to Conurus in Canada they will replace the mount with a Canon one, and retain the AF functions etc. Now it's fair to say they are not the fastest AF lenses about, so many might still be disappointed, but you get the CZ optics and quality...... No plans to convert mine, but it's always a fall back option for the future, to keep using my investment.
