## Description

Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce its newly upgraded 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM lens. This large aperture standard zoom lens contains state-of-the-art enhancements including the company s own Optical Stabilization (OS) anti-shake technology that offers the use of shutter speeds approximately four stops slower than would otherwise be possible. Once again only Sigma has made it possible for Pentax and Sony shooters to utilize an anti-shake system in either the lens or the camera body.------With a large aperture of F2.8 on the wide end and F4 at the tele end as well as a macro function with a minimum focusing distance of 8.7 inches and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.7 this lens is ideal for a wide range of photography. The lens Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) also ensures a quiet and high speed auto focus while its rounded seven-blade diaphragm creates an attractive blur to the out-of-focus areas to provide the optimal Bokeh effect. The inner focusing system eliminates front lens rotation making the lens particularly suitable for using petal-type lens hood and circular polarizing filters.------Three aspherical lenses and one Extraordinary Low Dispersion (ELD) glass element provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations when shooting with this lens. Additionally the Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to produce high-contrast images.

Review: tack sharp! - well tis lens amazed me... not just because i came from the kit from the t2i, is everything! the build quality, great shape and weight in your hand, the quality of your bokeh.. ok in order... first the good things first is a truly walkaround lens. great weight (not too heavy, but not too "kit" neither). the zoom and the focus ring is as smooth as you can get but very accurate. for the ones who have the Canon Zoom Pack 1000, the lens does fit. i guess it wont fit any longer one. the quality of the pictures really amazed me, and you know that the ones you get from the kit lens are great ones! the bokeh is really beautiful (7 rounded blades aperture), the zoom range is the right one for walking with it.. no chromatic aberration at all ( at least compared with the kit lens) but when is in 17, at 2.8 you can see some at 100 % crop so.. HSM is REALLY quiet.. I mean, the only way to listen this baby running is in your room at night with the door closed! and is fast.. not as fast as an L series, but is fast. the price is great too.. i guess that the equivalent from canon is the 15-85 and is almost 300 bucks more :s the macro function is a plus very welcomed for me :) now, the bad ones no full time autofocus... this is annoying... you still have to be careful to not turn the focus ring when you're in autofocus and that's crap.. :s the OS stoles some battery power.. so just don't expect the same amount of pictures that you had with the kit lens.. 72 mm filters are kind of expensive.. but after all, this is an expensive hobby (this lens is not an expensive one, but is still 100$ more than a s90) so.. guess is not a problem.. when you have the OS on and turn off the camera, there a weird noise in the lens.. nothing to worry about but is there so... this is something weird and unexpected, and i'm going to try to explain it (sorry my english by the way) I think this lens is "darker" than the kit... how is that?? well, if you take a picture with the kit lens, and put this one on the camera, and you don't move anything (aperture, exposition, etc) the picture will be darker... you have to move up a little bit the exposure compensation.. so I don't know why is this, and i'll be glad if someone could explain it.. overall a 7 stars lens (not 8 because the lack of full time autofocus) but desertcart only allow me 5 stars so.. you know what? BUY IT! P.S.: i know is not important, but the looks of this lens in the camera is also veeery good! :)
Review: Sigma advantage with the 17-70mm Macro OS - I just got this lens yesterday and tested it a number of different ways. I bought this lens primarily for the faster 2.8 aperture and the close focus of 8 inches plus OS. The close focus delivered as promised with no need to refocus after zooming in ou out (it held focus and sharpness). Color rendition was natural and pleasing and the OS seems to be doing the job promised. Images are sharp at all focal lengths (I have not noticed any serious image degradaton based on focal length. I uploade a photo showing two shots at close focus changing the zoom and maintianing the close distance. The shots were hand held. using daylight/ambient through a window and no flash. The shutter speeds were 1/60 and 1/30 sec, single point focus and center weighted exposure using auto focus. My camera is a Nikon D300s. * Close focus is great. * The lens holds focus through the zoom range without having to refocus. * color rendition including saturation is natural with and without flash. * having a max aperture is a definate plus. another review mentioned that you loose that quickly after leaving the shortest focal length (well of course) but that one stop gain is progresive through the zoom range. * the OS is a little noisy but you know that it's working. * focus is as fast as my Nikon 18 to 105 but you can get a lot closer to the subject. I have purchased a lot of glass for my camera and was really wondering if i needed to take this step. I'm glad I did. I have lensed that claim close focus and or macro.... this one is better. AFTER THOUGHT.... One review menioned that it was to easy to accidently grab the focus ring and accidently turn it while zooming. This has been a problem for me in the past. Note that I do this more with my Nikon lenses that with my Sigma's. Nikon has there focus ring closer to the camera body (your face). Sigma has there's in front of the zoom ring. I prefer this (it's not as easy to accidently grab). It also has a stiffer action so you notice it sooner. I like this design better. THANX for listening.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be a decent replacement for my Canon T2i 18-55 kit lens or should I just keep saving? I shoot landscapes and small venue concerts mostly.**
A: It's a good lens for my needs. I have found the 18-300mm type lenses just don't do all that well, I think too much range to cover but this does well and being a f/2.8 it's better for darker shots. Heavier than a kit lens but worth it in my opinion.

**Q: Is this a good lens for product photography, for a depth of about 12 inches? I'm having a hard time getting sharp images of my labels.   Thank you**
A: Yes, the macro function is excellent. Pay attention to the depth of field and you won’t be disappointed.

**Q: Is this still good lens? Is there a big difference between this and the C model? Will this replace my d7000 18-55mm lens?**
A: I used the lens almost the entire time I shot dx. It did a wonderful job for me and gave me countless well loved images. It is supposedly better wide than the C version but the C is reportedly better at the long end. I must have had a good copy because I had no complaints with its performance at 70mm.

**Q: How is this lens for video?**
A: Has optical stabilization

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Lens
*by R***O on November 30, 2010*

I had a Canon T2i and a Canon 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM lens and decided that I wanted to upgrade to a better lens. I looked around and this seemed to be the perfect fit. It was not extremely expensive but was relatively fast at the wide end. I read some reviews and decided that it fit my requirements and went ahead and ordered it. This lens is fantastic on the wide end, even wide open. Add that with the OS and you get a very good low light lens. The images I've gotten at 17mm and f/2.8 are amazing. Very crisp and with great color. Stopping it down a bit makes the images even sharper - past f/4.0 it doesn't really seem to help much though cause it's already so good at that point. However, the trade off of this lens is it's performance zoomed in. The aperture falls off to f/4.0 which isn't especially slow but isn't fast either, and the image quality also falls off a bit. This is not to say that it's terrible, but it's nothing like the wide end of the lens. Stopping it down helps quite a bit, but still doesn't make it as sharp as it is when zoomed out. So far I've only spoken of the two extreme ends of this lens, and the easy summation is that the middle focal lengths are kind of in the middle. So if you want an all around lens that you primarily use wide open but want the option of having a little reach, then this is the lens for you. If you are one of those people that usually is zoomed in a bit, then you may want to look at the Canon 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens.
