Abstract: This 17mm-70mm lens, made for standard APS sensor DSLRs, has a film-equivalent range of 25.5mm-105mm. This is a fairly wide angle and about perfect for portrai...
This lens could be considered an alternative to a kit lens - buy the camera body and the Sigma lens separately. Or as an improvement on lenses supplied with older cameras, adding image stabilisation and faster autofocus. It is more expensive than most kit...

This lens feels like a finely made, luxury device. Mechanically it is smooth and although the lens extends dramatically there is no wobble in the telescoping parts. Image stabilisation is good. Image quality is excellent.
Even with a modest zoom range it is hard to avoid distortion – marked barrel at the wide end and perceptible pincushion at the long end

good build quality, splendid or at least very good image quality in the frame centre throughout the whole focal range to boot, good image quality on the edge of the frame for 2870 mm focal lengths, negligible longitudinal chromatic aberration, lateral chr
image quality at 17 mm on the edge of the frame below the decency level, a bit too high chromatic aberration at 17 mm and by f/2.8, noticeable vignetting, work against bright light should have been better.
„Out of the frying pan into the fire” – this idiom perhaps describes the newest moves of Sigma the best. Firstly I completely don't understand why they launched a successor of a very well done 17-70 mm OS model. Just to gain those several dozen grams? I a...
Given the price point and intended market, the Sigma 17-70mm ƒ/2.8-4 OS performed quite well. Good performance for sharpness, excellent resistance to chromatic aberration, low corner shading - the lens has test results which commend it. Many users may be ...
