I will not bore you with a list but the most notable was the difference between a Sigma 18-35 zoom and the Canon one I replaced it with. I did not use this type of lens much on film and its lack of performance had never been clear until I used it with a digital camera. I am talking about wider apertures of course stopped down lenses differ very little IME. Frank On 19 Jul, 2004, at 16:54, Daniel Ridings wrote: >> I agree Leo on the Nikon over the Canon.
