What do you get with a lens that costs 10x its cheaper alternative?
Hi,
To be more specific with my question...
What makes the Canon 17-40 f4L worth approximately 10x the price of the kit lens? or 1.5x the price of a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8?
Would you agree that, in the hands of a skilled photographer it would be hard to see the difference, if no, what would be the defining factor?
For a bit of grounding, I am a 400D user with a lens kit made up mostly of manual focus lenses + the 18-55mm kit lens. I am looking for a new lens and am considering both 17-50mm Tamron and the 17-40mm canon L.
I look forward to your replies with interest.
Hardy
