Which zoom lens to buy?

6 years 2 weeks ago #576379 by Hunter-
I needed advice on what zoom lens I should buy. There are 2 lens below that I have been looking at, but I am open to other suggestions.

This lens is the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens for Canon. This has a longer range, but has a higher aperture, so photos will not be as sharp.

This lens is the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM Autofocus Image Stabilized Telephoto Zoom Lens. It has less range, but it also has a better aperture, to take more sharp of photos.

That Tamron gets high marks and is on my wish list. Personally, I try to stay with like branded lenses but some times the costs out weigh the loyalty...The "higher aperture" really doesn't relate to sharpness, technique is more responsible.
Depending on what you shoot, get the one that does more for you.....

Why so serious?

Your posting this in a Canon forum, so I'm guessing you are using a Canon.  What camera specifically are you using?  


Regardless, I'd stick with the Canon if you want my 2 cents.
