Tamron or Sigma for Canon 5D Mark II

10 years 4 months ago #319727 by Richard Taylor
If you were to consider an aftermarket lens manufacture for your Canon, which would you pick up? Tamron or Sigma? More of a general statement. When considering alternative lenses that save me money, but still have good reputation. For both I seem to find good reviews. Well that is depending on the specific lenses.

Tamron 24-70 2.8 VC is a good lens.

The Sigma 35mm 1.4 is amazing as are the rest of the "New" Sigma lenses.

I always prefer Canon lenses for a Canon camera.
In case of any problems (specially back- or front-focus) Canon service only will help (adjustment of camera and lens) with Canon lenses but not for others.

Between the two, isn't Sigma the better quality lens?
