Canon Tamron Sigma

Tamron or Sigma,Which is Better?

Hi everyone,I am looking for people to answer with experience on this subject. I am looking for a 70-300mm zoom lense for my Canon rebel xti and really don’t know which one is better.Tamron or Sigma?I know they’re both not probaby”high quality”glass,but I just need something to use until have the money for Canon.Have any of you ever had either of these lenses?Thanks for the help! Here are the names of the lenses-

Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO Macro Telephoto Zoom

or….

Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens

Liz Lou,

Both have above normal pincushion distortion and at 300mm the edge resolution has been called dismal. Center resolution poor. They are both very slow at 300mm.

That is typical of many 4x zooms; you asking too many things from one lens.

If you plan on using this lens as a 300mm lens you should really look at the Canon 300mm F/4 or if you are looking to do macro you should check out the Canon 100mm F/2.8. I know they may be a little more expensive than you may have planned, but they are worth it. You will not be throwing your money away on cheap glass.

Primes at 300mm are always better than an equivalent zoom.

If you feel your assignment will absolutely require a zoom lens then you should try the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM.
