This Boston ice cream party may be as popular as the Boston Tea Party. Now held at City Hall Plaza, look for it each June as an unofficial beginning of summer.
The event serves up ice cream from 10 of the nation’s leading ice cream companies while raising money for the Jimmy Fund, which supports cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The Scooper Bowl has grown into the world’s biggest all-you-can-eat ice cream festival - with 30,000-plus annual attendees, live music, and volunteers from the industry’s largest companies on hand at Boston’s City Hall Plaza to serve up ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet over three days each June.

History:
The ice cream festival has been in Boston since the early '80s. Initially, it was held on Boston Common as part of the annual New England Dairy Festival. For just $1, visitors could enjoy as much ice cream as they wanted. The five original sponsors, Brigham's, Baileys, Emack & Bolio, and Hendries, scooped their wares and raised $1,000 for the Jimmy Fund. The Scooper Bowl event has grown ever since, and now raises more than $1 million dollars each year.
1. Canon 17-85/4-5.6 USM IS $510 475g 最近对焦距离35cm 最大放大率1:5 优点:对焦快,有IS,前镜片不旋转便于用CPL。 缺点:贵,广角端变形极为严重,边角极软,紫边极为严重。
2. Canon 18-55/3.5-5.6 $140 190g 最近对焦距离28cm 优点:便宜,长焦端相当锐利。 缺点:前镜片旋转不便于用CPL,广角端变形很严重,边角极软。
3. Sigma 18-125/3.5-5.6 $280 385g 最近对焦距离50cm 最大放大率1:5.3 优点:前镜片不旋转便于用CPL,非常锐利,大变焦。 缺点:变形很严重。
4. Sigma 18-200/3.5-6.3 $380 405g 最近对焦距离45cm 最大放大率1:4.4 优点:前镜片不旋转便于用CPL,超大变焦。 缺点:变形很严重,焦段缩水严重,长焦端对焦困难。
5. Sigma 17-70/2.8-4.5 $390 455g 最近对焦距离20cm 最大放大率1:2.3 优点:前镜片不旋转便于用CPL,1:2.3微距,极锐利。 缺点:广角端光圈全开边角较软,紫边极严重。
6. Sigma 18-50/2.8 $410 445g 最近对焦距离28cm 最大放大率1:5 优点:前镜片不旋转便于用CPL,大光圈,暗角控制较好,极锐利。 缺点:紫边极为严重,广角端光圈全开边角较软。
7. Sigma 18-50/3.5-5.6 $110 245g 最近对焦距离25cm 最大放大率1:3.5 优点:便宜,相当锐利。 缺点:前镜片旋转不便于用CPL,广角端光圈全开边角较软,变形相当严重,紫边明显。
8. Tamron 18-200/3.5-6.3 $390 423g 最近对焦距离45cm 最大放大率1:3.7 优点:前镜片不旋转便于用CPL,超大变焦。 缺点:变形极为严重,广角端暗角很严重,边角极软。
9. Tamron 17-50/2.8 $450 434g 最近对焦距离27cm 最大放大率1:4.5 优点:前镜片不旋转便于用CPL,大光圈,暗角控制较好,极锐利。 缺点:广角端紫边变形均很严重。 总结: 第一集团:Sigma 17-70, Tamron 17-50 都没啥大缺点,Sigma 17-70可以兼作微距,Tamron 17-50则有大光圈。 第二集团:Sigma 18-125,Tamron 18-200, Canon 18-55 Sigma 18-125有大变焦,是很方便的旅游镜。 Tamron 18-200更是超大变焦,不过也更贵一些。 Canon 18-55,套头,在这个价钱上,除了不便于用CPL,其实就没啥大缺点了。再怎么说也袈不住它便宜呵。虽然做工差,真差。 第三集团:Sigma 18-50/2.8,Sigma 18-50/3.5-5.6, Canon 17-85,Sigma 18-200 Sigma 18-50/2.8有大光圈,是原来的第一集团成员,但比起新出的Tamron 17-50就没啥优势了。 Sigma 18-50/3.5-5.6便宜,光学素质也不差,实在没钱但又不满意套头可以考虑这个。 Canon 17-85有USM, 有IS, 但是光学素质平平,价钱又贵,吸引力并不大。
