At the risk of exposing myself to further ridicule for not knowing everything about my 1dx -- is there anything that anyone can think of that would cause the camera to severely underexpose each picture? I went out shooting yesterday and every single shot has a histogram like this (auto-iso, so it's not that I'm specifying ISO 100 either):


I usually shoot using spot metering, but it doesn't seem to matter what I pick as all the shots came out like this.

You dont have any filters attached do you?

(I have done this)

I don't think the Sigma 8-16mm takes filters but would love to hear more about the differences. Definitely deliberating between this and Canon's 10-22mm which is a stop faster and about $100 cheaper, but I have the 17-55mm and kind of like that the 8-16mm doesn't overlap at all. Hmmm.


My Sigma 8-16 came with a detachable cuff which acts as an extra hood but also has a thread to attach screw on filters. That said, using it at anything other than 16mm will leave your pictures looking like a Bond film intro.

So, I've got a 60D and I would like to upgrade my general 'tourist' lens. Currently I'm using the 28-105 3.5/4.5 USM.
I'm not happy with the results and I want to get something for no more than £450 - £500.
I'm happy to go pre-owned and was looking at the 24-105 f4L IS which I understand is the standard kit lens on the full frames. I would also be happy to go with whatever is good from Sigma and Tamron, especially if they do something a bit quicker than f4.
