Is there any competition for this lens? I've been doing some lens research and this one seems to fit the bill in terms of price (£469) and capability, although it is quite old technology. It's to fit on to a 550d.
I'm after a lens that can shoot in a wide range of scenarios - family/holiday/walkabout shots are the majority of what I shoot but also some motorsport/landscape. The 2.8 would be the best solution the price tag is a bit much for the amount of times I get the camera out.
I currently own the standard 18-55 kit lens, an efs 55-250 4-5.6 and an ef 50mm 1.8. All cheap lenses hence me wanting to get one decent lens that could replace most of them in one.
Budget is around 400 so I'm stretching it to go to 469.
