Wise SMBers, which would you buy with your not so hard earned money?

Seems sigma has very much put the cat amongst the pigeons.
 


135L silly billy.

I read those reviews and this seems like an excellent choice marra :cool: had a look at some sample images an'arl and it is unreal!

I'll be bringing the bairns over soon, would be good to take some images taken with it :cool:

Hmm not sure really... I like my 200mm zoom for the candid shots and think only being able to get to 85mm (especially on full frame) would be quite restrictive?

just stumbled across this:

guess its completely down to your style. As you say, a 200mm would allow to to fade away into the background more.

seems the sigma is rather sharp on a FF:

I guess to the experienced pro primes can do everything they need... maybe I'll switch over one day? For now I need the zoom capabilities as I'm still working things out as I go along.

So are you planning on shooting some weddings then, or is this just for a mate's wedding or family member?
