I am a Nikon man myself, but I trust dpreview.com

I think BMB is a Canon shooter, he is a good source for info. Hopefully he will jump in on this.

Same here i just love Nikon glass

Another Nikon lens fan here.

But Sigma and most other after-market glass manufacturers aren't as good as either Canon or Nikkor lenses.

Don't skimp on the lens. There's a reason after-market are generally cheaper.

I fully agree about the after market lens. I am looking for something along the lines of 28-300 f/2.8 IS lens. if you could recommend one that you are familiar with I would greatly appreciate it.

I wish I could be of more help, but I don't have a Canon vs. Nikon comparative basis. Lately I've been shootin' with a 55-200mm VR Nikkor that I really like.

The camera store I deal with has a 30-day 'try it out' policy on new lenses and they'll allow no-question returns provided the lens is undamaged. Maybe you have a similiar policy store available?

You can rent lenses from most all pro photo shops, I would suggest renting it for the day, and seeing how you like it. 2.8 will always be more expensive, so if price is an issue, there will be a significant price difference between a 2.8 and a 4.0

I have rented this lens before and do like it. I just wanted to get some other opinions about the product. The price is not the issue at all. I would like to stick with the Canon line. Thanks for the input though

Well, that’s good. I am inquiring about a Canon lens or similar lenses that fit the Canon camera

I'm a Canon girl, and you don't want to waste your time with any lens but a Canon one. What's the lens for? Why a 28-300?

It's for shooting content. I have rented this lens before and had some awesome results, but haven't played with other lenses to compare. I think it may be overkill for the purpose I want it for...but thought I would check.
Thanks for the input
