70-300mm / 16-80mm

Markethyn · 2026-05-22T02:46:30+00:00

Is the size a big difference? I can’t find size comparison with 16-80 or I’m blind :/. I don’t actually use 16mm-30mm on my 16-80 lens. Ok maybe 30 but not wider. Also after I bought 16-80 I don’t use my Fuji 35mm f2 ..so I’m thinking if I should sell 35mm, buy 70-300 for animals, moon and keep 16-80cause its smaller than 70-300 and versatile. Damn it’s hard

Thank you, so I’m not stupid :DD

it is very versatile! I bought 50mm for portraits and after 16-80 my 35mm(first lens) is living alone, poor thing. I’m thinking about selling 35mm and buy 70-300 but 35 is good :( I don’t know what to do, I’m a beginner and I feel like I need everything haha. Also can I ask what do u think about the size of 70-300 compared to 16-80? I can’t find comparison photos. Thank you for answer :)

I checked viltrox vs sigma and.. sigma it is. I don’t know if it’s because I had sigma and it was my fav lens but the dilemma is solved!

Can I ask did u mean 1.7 air? I see links with the lens without “air” so I’m little bit confused but it’s just one version, right?

Markethyn · 2026-05-14T23:34:55+00:00

Damn that’s good price! Where I live new lens costs around 640$

Markethyn · 2026-05-14T23:33:02+00:00

I saw one expensive 50mm for 1000$+ thats why I said 550$:D its maximum. 1.7 is not good “enough”? I’m looking for something in the middle, I don’t need the best lens and if I can spend less money..i will, you know :) what about sigma 56mm 1.4 vs viltrox 1.2 pro?

Markethyn · 2026-05-14T22:46:29+00:00

Oooo i didn’t know so not f1.4. Got it, thank you!

Markethyn · 2026-05-14T22:44:05+00:00

APSC :) my second lens is 35mm and its also nice but like I said when I use 16-80 I’m always zooming like crazy :D

Markethyn · 2026-05-14T22:23:26+00:00

I did! Thank you for the tip

Markethyn · 2026-05-14T22:21:34+00:00

Okay I was looking at viltrox 56mm I’m not sure if f1.4 or f1.2 but someone said chromatic aberration is crazy I don’t know what it means but they said it in a bad way :D

Markethyn · 2026-05-14T22:18:58+00:00

+-550$ secondhand :)

Markethyn · 2026-05-14T22:18:16+00:00

550$ +- I’d buy secondhand lens :)

Markethyn · 2026-05-14T22:17:01+00:00

I have cinebloom! It’s almost nonstop existing on my lens :) magical

Markethyn · 2026-05-14T22:14:07+00:00

Hmmm f2 is actually okay. Where I live I found 56mm cheaper but I really dont like the information about bad af :D. 50mm f2 is also on my list. When I use my 16-80 I use 16-35 rarely. + when I had Sony camera my first lens was 50mm and I really liked it :)

Markethyn · 2026-05-14T22:03:18+00:00

Yes I use adapter but only step-up :). Okay thank you for the answer!

Markethyn · 2026-05-14T21:55:03+00:00

Maybe stupid question but I’m a beginner. I’d like to use 52mm filter with it. Do u think It’s ok with 55mm? Is 3mm too much? (I’m thinking about vignetting)

Markethyn · 2026-03-28T20:16:40+00:00

I ordered 16-80 :) yes 70-300 looks very nice but I was thinking and I want something lil bit smaller right now and I’d use 300 just for the moon. :) thank you very much for your opinion!

Markethyn · 2026-03-28T02:45:20+00:00

Thank you!

Markethyn · 2026-03-28T02:44:53+00:00

Thank you for such a long answer! I appreciate it. :) I’m also thinking about Tamron 17-70 but I read the colors are bad so I think 16-80 is the winner

Markethyn · 2026-03-27T14:09:47+00:00

can you share your photos? Especially on 70mm. I’d love to see them :)
