The one stop increase in light for $200 less will make many photographers and videographers drool, however, is the Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 VC sharp enough, fast enough, and built well enough to go toe to toe with Canon 24-70 f/4 IS L glass? Let’s find out as we go hands on with these two lenses.

Canon 24-70 f/4 IS Review - Updated w/Video
The Canon 24-70 f/4 IS is here and sharper than ever. Also part of this new upgrade was a hefty price upgrade, not so much from the retail price of the 24-105mm f/4 IS, but because the 24-105 can be found at greatly reduced prices due to the packaging of this as the kit lens in so many Canon cameras. Either way, the Canon 24-70 f/4 IS is now here and here to stay so let's take a look at the performance this has to offer.
Sigma 30mm f/1.4 Review - First Thoughts
There is an obvious lack of wide aperture lenses for Canon & Nikon’s 50mm equivalent focal length for cropped sensor cameras. While canon has some great L lenses in this category such as the 24mm f/1.4L and the 35mm 1.4L, these lenses are often over $1,500 placing them out of reach of most prosumer camera owners. Sigma has come to the rescue though offering quite a few lenses in this range, most notably though, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4.
