Does the lens stay at f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range?

@flyguyga321

 17mm -19mm

On what Canon body is it?

Thanks

How faxt does the lens lock focus? I am using a 85mm Canon, and it locks focus way faster than my Sigma 30 1.4. How does this Sigma compare?

@TheWhatShit If i have the money I'd go for the Canon 15-85 IS USM... a must have for cropped sensor DSLRS... but that is if i have the money... hahaha.... A very good walk around lens... sharp as a non L lens can be... but then again... thinking of spending that amount of dough makes me want to buy the Sigma as well.... Cheers mate!

[TheWhatShit]

This sigma lens or the canon 15-85... Decisions decisions

ll i thought it would be faster. Maybe canons EF 24-105 F4 L will be faster than this.

@ducipal1st I have 550d as well and what's that firmware you were talking about?

[SideshowBob44]

@ducipal1st I've also got this lens on a 550D and i like it a lot :) better than the kit lens by far.

@SideshowBob44

I have been in contact with Sigma uk and I was told that that sound is a feature of the OS.

On the other hand I like the 550D together with these lens.

I will apply the Magic Latern firmware on 550d and it will be mach better than D60.

I have checked the D60, is not too bad, taken in hands it is a good feel.

I will get a grip for 550D and would be fine.

@ducipal1st I think that sound is normal i sometimes hear it as well when i move the lens ... think i read somewhere its something that helps with the OS that will move about.

@denniscoenraad

Yes of course. I had the 20D before I bought the 60D. I'd bought the 7D if I'd had enough money, but I think I made a good decision with the 60D.

The Lady point is something I did not think of. Definitely a good point. But a smaller body and just the look and feel of the 550D were the points, which made me buy the 60D. I think its all individual. But nevertheless is the 60D worth the price. It may not as good as the 550D in terms of price vs "what you get"....but its worth it

[denniscoenraad]

@SniperOSOK Like I said, all about personal preference. I just feel that the price you're paying for the 60D is not as worth it as the 550D. Quality I believe also highly depends on what lens you have attached. Look and feel depends on the consumer themselves, a lady with a small hand for example would prefer a smaller body.

May I ask what camera you had before the 60D just out of curiosity? (:
