Lenses dilemma

[Bob Gundu]

Here's a quick test with my Vivitar Series 1 90mm f2.5 macro @ f2.5:

Not a very good eye light, I know. I highly doubt you will find a sharper macro lens than this. And for the price of one Zeiss ZF 100mm macro, you could buy four of these lenses.

I have the Tamron 90mm macro 2.5 which I believe is essentially the same lens. Every shot here is with that lens.

Ok, this is my final list :

- Tokina 11-16 mm F2.8 (really, really hard to decide with the sigma 8-16)
- Sigma 18-35 mm F1.8
- Sigma 70-200 mm F2.8
- Rokinon 85 mm T1.5
- Canon 100 mm Macro Usm Is F2.8

For the 50 mm, i'm waiting, i will take an Hélios 58mm for the moment.
If you have any advice, don't hesitate.

Best regards,

Go with the Sigma 50mm 1.4. That's a great budget lens.
