    Canon 5D Mark III

    Should I get just the body or pay the extra for the lens? What would you do and why?

    Right now I have a couple 18-55, 55-250 and Sigma 18-200's The kit comes with a 24-105

              There's quite a bit of difference between 500D and 5D @grumpy

                  none of above lenses will work with full frame sensor.

                  24-105 is good tho

                                      Those lenses that you have are not great at all...
                                      Better safe for good lens.
                                      It's really make different in quality.
                                      I would chose 24-70 2.8 over 24-105 and to add 70-200

                                          the 24-105 is a decent lens and constant stop f4 is a bit better than the glass you are using

                                              I think he's right. From what I can tell:

                                              The Sigma 18-200mm DC is for a smaller sensor and will vignette on a full frame.

                                              The 18-55 and 55-200mm EF-S Canon lenses won't even attach to a full frame mount.

                                                      buy the kit and ebay the lens. It's stupid to not take advantage of the lens discount with the kit.

                                                              I bought the kit with the 24-105 f4.0 and it's a nice lens but i also use the 24-70 f2.8

                                                              The 24-105 is nice when shooting video with the image stabilizer. The 70-200 is an amazing lens and that's the next thing on my list.

                                                              I also bought the 600EX Flash which does a nice job when using the Gary Fong Lightsphere.

                                                                  Yeah, that's a decent lens. Works great on a full frame camera. It's actually the APS-C sensor cameras this lens doesn't work favorably with because it ends up being an effective 85mm which is too tight for most situations...

                                                                      I have this 1.4 and the cheaper 1.8... Good lenses... Has worked really well for our movie.

                                                                              I've been curious about the 1.2. That's what I'd buy now if I had a need for primes, but I haven't been shooting anything in quite a while so I'm not really buying any new gear...

These lenses get him by, but there are other aspects of shooting that need to be prioritized before a gear upgrade will lend to an improvement in quality.

                                                                                          Right now I have a couple 18-55, 55-250 and Sigma 18-200's The kit comes with a 24-105
                                                                                          You've got a 450D haven't you?

                                                                                          I'd recommend a 60D and spend the left over cash on a couple of L series lenses.

                                                                                          Going from consumer to pro body with cheap glass like sigma is doing it wrong.

MAJOR difference in color rendition and ambient light in the set as well as skin tone.

MAJOR difference in color rendition and ambient light in the set as well as skin tone.
                                                                                                                          So why don't you SHOW us?

                                                                                                                                  This would be very interesting.

                                                                                                                                  A lens is always the result of compromise, a expensive f1.4 lens will be more difficult to design then a f2.8 lens, a zoom lens will have many elements and may have poorer resolution. But f2.8 lenses may be excellent.

                                                                                                                                  There are so many other factors involved in a photograph that have a far bigger effect on the quality and look of the picture than the lens.

                                                                                                                                  The most important is basic exposure and focus.

                                                                                                                                  If you like I will post pictures taken with Sigma and Nikon lenses and you can tell me which is which?

                                                                                                                                      I sold this tamron lens, and never looked back on those...

                                                                                                                                      I heard many say: " this is bulshit to pay that much for that lens, when you can get a cheap 85mm 1.8)
                                                                                                                                      But, i can see such a huge different in image quality, this why i will pay way $$$ for more slow and more heavy lens.

                                                                                                                                          I'd recommend a 60D and spend the left over cash on a couple of L series lenses.

                                                                                                                                          Going from consumer to pro body with cheap glass like sigma is doing it wrong.
                                                                                                                                          It is a T1i and you are the only person I recall saying anything negative about Sigma glass.

                                                                                                                                          I have but as I do not own the glass I can not show examples. But after storm chasing with my uncle that had some really nice glass I was quite disappointed when he bailed before I got a Chance to play with his stuff.

                                                                                                                                              I would invest in better glass myself.

After watching it I have to wonder what you did not like. The III works great in low light which is why I was considering it.

So it's just deciding what's good enough for your own application and finances. If you feel you're really going to use that extra few % for a few thousand dollars, then by all means enjoy it. Or, you may decide that saving your money and living with 97% of the possible performance is a better choice.

                                                                                                                                                      Pictures are looked at. They are visual. We do not have to rely on descriptions, we could judge for ourselves.

                                                                                                                                                      This would be very interesting.

                                                                                                                                                      A lens is always the result of compromise, a expensive f1.4 lens will be more difficult to design then a f2.8 lens, a zoom lens will have many elements and may have poorer resolution. But f2.8 lenses may be excellent.

                                                                                                                                                      There are so many other factors involved in a photograph that have a far bigger effect on the quality and look of the picture than the lens.

                                                                                                                                                      The most important is basic exposure and focus.

                                                                                                                                                      If you like I will post pictures taken with Sigma and Nikon lenses and you can tell me which is which?

Nt sure what the Nikon equiv of lseries is, but if you have that the we would all be able to tell the difference that and a sigma.

                                                                                                                                                          But the point everyone is making is that to go from a $300 to a $3000 body is a hell of a jump and you might find if you spend that same money on one good l series lens and a 60D body instead you'd get more bang for your buck. You could also then still use your cheaper lenses if you wanted.

MAJOR difference in color rendition and ambient light in the set as well as skin tone.
                                                                                                                                                                                              The 24-70 2.8 is the lens I've been using for almost 5 years now. My Canon 5D came with the 24-120 f4 but I didn't like it. Obviously it wasn't good for low lighting situations. But the 24-70 2.8 is great for low and good lighting.

Plus I can shoot some of that "art" footage. lol

                                                                                                                                                                                                  I don't think anyone could tell the difference between budget glass and not. A cheaper lens may well be better quality because it is darker. If as most here use flash it would be a much better option.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      I'd recommend a 60D and spend the left over cash on a couple of L series lenses.
