[quote name='Reinier' timestamp='1309765804' post='9728']

Hello All,



About 1,5 years ago I bought a second hand Canon EOS 5D I together with a EF 17-40mm. Although the 17-40 is a fine lens, it is not the range I prefer. In my film days I always had a Canon EF 28-70mm f3.5-4.5 II. Actually I still have it, but after 20 years of intense usage, it has been broken.



I would love to own a 28-70mm(a bigger range is welcome too) once again and sell my 17-40mm. I have read some tests, but I cannot make up my mind yet.



Of course I want quality(who doesn't) I will use the lens for landscapes(flat Dutch landscapes and seascapes), buildings and nature. I want as little distortion and field curvature(or none at all) as possible. And weight is important too, like the Canon 24-70/2.8 is too heavy. I have about 500-600 euro to spent.





Any suggestions would be welcome.





Kind regards,



Reinier

There's basically no standard zoom lens without field curvature and little distortions.

Regarding your budget limits there's probably just the Tamron 28-75 and the old Sigma 24-70/2.8 to choose from.

I would probably lean towards the Tamron and pray for a good sample.
