Re: sigma vs tamron

There are better forums for this type of question, perhaps www.photography-on-the.net/forums

My answer is simple. Stay away from aftermarket glass unless it is something that Canon does not cover. Many will disagree, and as usual the $$$ factor gets played.  But you can always buy used. The real advantage of Canon is it's glass.
