right i wanna get a new lens
basically everyone just threw money at me for christmas instead of buying something and combined with some left over cash i have a nice chunk to get something good with.
i am after a new phone, but im getting an upgrade in january anyway
there is 2 lenses i would like, but i can only get one.
Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS http://photozone.de/8Reviews/lenses/canon_70300_456is/index.htm
Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 HSM EX DC
http://photozone.de/8Reviews/lenses/sigma_1020_456/index.htm
its quite a tough decision i think because on the one hand i like sports photography where the long reach and IS will no doubt come in handy, but i also like shooting in close quarters where the sigma will excel.
now the Canon is actually the most expensive here, but there is a guy selling one on ebay right now for ?250+ shipping of ?18 USED. that is a steal i think given the lens retails for ?350+
unluckily no one is selling a Sigma 10-20mm used on ebay and the cheapest prices i can find for that are ?200 ish + ?40-50 shipping from Hong Kong (which im a little uneasy about if im honest)
should i just go for the canon?
