I'm a total n00b when it comes to SLRs and I have a question about lenses. I can't figure out why one costs more than another even though they seem pretty much the same and, in some cases, even come from the same manufacturer. I can see why a Canon lens would be more expensive than an identical Tamron, for example, but when there are similar lenses made by the same company... To make this a little easier, let's look at these lenses (there are other much more expensive ones that appear to be similar but I'm looking at what's within my budget):
1) Tamron
2) Sigma
3) Canon
4) Canon
(those two canons, 3 and 4, seem identical except that the imported one is $10 cheaper... does that even matter?)
5) Tamron
6) Canon
1) Tamron
2) Sigma
3) Canon
4) Canon
