[ZanucK]

Please don't erase thread - this is related with "still photography" - I know I have posted this long time ago on "cafe ala.." but I did not receive the answers I was looking for. I'm about to leave the country in 2 weeks - thanks

there is a huge difference in price between these two... would you guys know by any chance why?

99$

I imagine the most expensive glass also probably will perform best. Im most cases, you get what you pay for.
