However, my impression is that once you reach a certain price point the quality is the same or similar, and paying more might not be worth it. I'm trying to figure out that point!  |
Yes, it's tricky. I have one cheap 7-21mm zoom which isn't anywhere near as good as the Seben 8-24mm that I bought 5 or 6 years ago, when all up it cost around $60. My Seben was so good for the price, that I bought another one to use in my binoviewer.
