[QUOTE="frtorres87, post: 141083, member: 13078"] Hello everyone. Soon I will be in he market for a zoom lens, and after reading a few reviews on some potential options I've narrowed it down to two options. I basically want a 70-200mm f2.8 zoom lens. Option 1 is the Sigma version. I believe it retails for about 1399.99. I've seen it on sale for 1249.99 recently but that's still a lot of money. I'd have to concoct a nice reason for having that so my wife doesn't complain lol. Does anyone here have this lens? Or have any experience with it? Options 2 is the Tamron 70-200mm f2.8. The plus about this lens is it has a macro feature and I love macro photography, plus it retails for 769.99. Price wise the Tamron is almost half the price. The negative though is that it doesn't have optical stabilization. Is that important on a lens like this? Does anyone have any experience with this lens or another Tamron? Does anyone own this lens and can give me feedback? Any feedback from anyone will be appreciated. Thanks in advanced. [/QUOTE]
