Hello! my name is Eric how can I help?
do you have a question about the sigma 17mm for me?
Yes, just looking at it. I still need a better wide angle lens--have a KIT now--Cannon 40d
Eric T.
ok let me see what we have you need an eos mount correct?
Yes, Crop sensor
Eric T.
also do you have a price range I can work with?
Well, that 400 dollar amount is nice
Eric T.
ok ill keep that in mind
I have a Tokina 50-135 2.8 that I love, so I am not afraid of 3rd party items
Eric T.
how does this look? its a canon 70-300
Not needing tele--more wide angle
Eric T.
ok
Sigma 17-50 ex DC OS HSM hint hint...
Eric T.
I noticed you were looking at that lens I thought you needed something wider?
If I go much more than 17, worried I am getting close to fisheye--maybe not with the crop sensor multiplication...
It happened to be the first lens that popped up when I entered Adorama today
Eric T.
Right. well at the price it is pretty much the best thing for what you are looking for
there is this 18mm which might be better
Looking at it now. Do you have either?
Eric T.
both are in stock yeah. is that what you meant?
DO you have experience with either?
Eric T.
both of the lenses have great review scores though if that helps make a decision
Ok, I will check both out/read reviews. Thanks!!
Eric T.
thanks for chatting!
Bye
