Re: Need A Solid Build Quality Walk Around Lens.

Looks like I will be purchasing this lens in the next week or two. I am really hoping for the build quality of the 70-200G.

Re: Need A Solid Build Quality Walk Around Lens.

Thanks David. I learned after purchasing my Sal-70-200/2.8G that you get what you pay for and that lens is (to me) worth every penny I paid for it. I just hope the CZ in question will prove to be as valuable to me. As of right now I use the 70-200 over 90% of the time for portraits and action shots.

Need A Solid Build Quality Walk Around Lens.

I am looking for a new walk around lens to replace my 24-105/3.5-4.5 Sony. I considered the CZ 16-80 but after reading up on it I would rather invest more and get a solid lens. Does anyone have suggestions on a solid wide aperture walk around? Perhaps 16-35? F2.8? I am also considering the purchase ...

This lens is such a great lens and to think it would be discontinued is rather dissapointing. Unless, that is, the replacement covers more range with same or better aperture, same or better bokeh, and build quality. I use this lens more often than any other lens in my collection and plan on getting ...

Well, I guess it gives me time to save for it. I would also like a 16-35mm F2.8. Hopefully they will make one of those too...

Sigma has an 8mm fisheye for Sony/Minolta mount. I believe the F-stop is 3.5 and with a $900.00 US suggested price seems a bit pricy
