I'm seeing Tamron and Sigma lens on Ebay for my Pentax 6.1 digital for less than $100. Are these worth it? |
I mean, I'm entering the world of digital photography but these prices seem very low. And I'm talking from power-sellers. Should I be concerned? I want to sell portraits/full body shots/club shots., etc..Will these lenses cut it? A good pro won't buy expensive gear he doesn't need... but he also treats his gear as a business investment. A $100 lens is really only good enough for snapshots. For professional portraits, you want a lens that produces at f/2.8. I don't mean a cheap zoom that starts at f/2.8 but needs to be stopped down to f/5.6 for decent image quality - I mean a quality f/2.8 zoom or a dedicated fixed focal length lens (something like a 50mm or 85mm f/1.4 - or the 'budget' f/1.8 versions). I'd pass on these Tamrons and Sigmas. Depends on what verson it is. Their probably been used so it loses a lot of value unless it was a popluar disconnutied lens. If you specify what lenses you wanted people could help more. I would read the Return Policy of that power-seller, if it says no returns I would be concerned. But the prices seem a little too low if you asked me. For wedings and club shots you want a wide aperature lens f/2.8, f/1.4, f/2, etc. I would get the smc P-FA 28-70mm F2.8 but of course you want a Tamron or Sigma so try to find an equlivate to it. That is a good general purpose lens. Tamron and Sigma are good for 3rd party lenses... but $100 is CHEAP! I'm sure it isn't a current model. For Digital use look for the Di or Di II lenses Tamron makes. visabuck, what you are seeing could very well be listed on HIJACKED ACCOUNTS. be very careful. if you buy anything on ebay, pay ONLY through PAYPAL with a CREDIT CARD! it it the safest way to pay.
