## Description

Compact & Lightweight

Review: The best upgrade from a kit lens under $500 USD! - I have seen many rumors that this lens is soft at 17mm. After two full days of testing I can put that rumor to rest, this lens is so tack sharp throughout the entire zoom range its hard not to cut yourself on it. At 17mm and f/2.8 the out side edges are slightly softer then the center. But to notice this you have to take multiple photos and zoom in over 300% and really "really" try to look for it. I tested this lens on a Canon Rebel T3i (600D) with a 18mp sensor. I can't say how impressed I am with this lens in terms of both optical and build quality. If you are looking to upgrade from your kit lens or just need a new lens in this zoom range without breaking the bank. Get this one. The only lens on the market for Canon in this zoom range that offer better optical quality is the much more expensive Canon 17-70 f/2.8L Lens. But its optical quality is very very marginal over the Sigma. Pros: - Half stop better lighting performance over most kit lens. - Better construction over most kit lens. - Most importantly, better optical performance over most if not all kit lens. - Does not suffer from zoom creep depute no zoom lock. - Comes with Tulip Lens Hood. - Tight yet smooth zoom even for video. Cons: - No full time manual focus override. You must turn off AF to use manual focus - The focus ring is little to close to the zoom ring. - No weather sealing Other Thoughts: I got this lens to replace my Canon EF 28-135 IS USM Lens. This lens is so much better in both optical and build quality that its jaw dropping. The OS works great, very quiet and the lens is very fast focusing. I can't comment on how this lens would be on other Camera brands like Nikon. But rest assured that if your a Canon user you will love this lens.
Review: Sigma 884101 17-70 2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM for Canon (Black) - I'm using this lens with my Canon EOS 7D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera. I previously used the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens that came with it. I also have the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II. Professional reviews for this lens, as well as reviews for Sigma's other new lens (35mm f/1.4 Art) helped convince me to choose this lens over the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8is, Canon 15-85mm is, Tamrom 17-50mm f/2.8 (VC and nonVC), and even Sigma's own 17-50mm f/2.8 OS. Additionally, Sigma boasts new quality control procedures and technologies they claim will drastically cut down on copy-to-copy variances. Finally, at $500, an extra 20mm of reach, and Macro capabilities, the Sigma 17-70 provides more flexibility and value than its fixed-aperture competitors. The Sigma is noticeably more compact, lighter, and less invasive looking, making it much more useful as a walk-around lens and for street photography. Pros: - Wide focal length range, maintaining excellent Image Quality - Wide aperture (2.8) at its widest focal length (17) - Provides Macro abilities - Uses Sigma's OS which provides valuable help for hand-holding in low light (comparable to Canon's IS) - Compact, light, svelte - Uses Sigma's new, upgraded materials and quality control processes - Comes with hood - Accepts popular 72mm filters - Solid construction - No lens creep - 3 year warranty vs Canon 1 year warranty Cons: - Variable aperture - 2.8-4. Meaning, at the long end (70mm), most used for portraits and sports, the lens has the narrowest aperture(4). - No weather sealing, making it the limiting factor in poor weather on my 7d, as well as on any of Canon's current Full Frame offerings - No lens bag - 3 year warranty is better than Canon's 1 year, but only half Tamron's incredible 6 year warranty I would definitely recommend this lens to anyone still using their kit lens. While it won't measure up to any decent quality prime lens, it's faster, wider, sharper, and more attractive looking than any kit lens for Canon APS-C. It's also cheaper than any of its competitors of similar image quality. Note: I did not include an IQ analysis for sharpness, flare control, or CA, as I believe the professional reviews can provide a much more in depth analysis with their formal tests

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it... Sigma is now a player!
*by M***D on March 21, 2013*

I was looking for a multipurpose lens for vacation to mount on my 7D when I stumbled upon this one. I had seen the reviews for the new Sigma 35 f1.4 Art Series on canonrumors.com and was very impressed with what I was reading. So, I thought I should give this lens a try. After all, it was a mere $499 vs. $2100 for the Canon 24-70 f2.8 L II with which I have spent some real world time. You see, I have just under 100 weddings under my belt in the past 6 years. Yet I haven't ever owned a zoom lens, since I shoot weddings primarily with fast primes (Canon 24 f1.4 L, Canon 50 1.2 L, Canon 85 f1.8, and Canon 100 f2.8 L macro). At times, I have rented zooms when I knew a certain event would require shooting without carrying multiple bodies or changing lenses. I have shot with the Canon 17-55 f2.8 IS and the 24-70, and I must say... this lens competes very well with both of them at a much lower price! The Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM has a longer ranger than the Canon 17-55 IS, while still offering you image stabilization, which the 24-70 f2.8 L II does NOT have! And if it did, just how much would Canon think they could charge you for it? That lens already costs as much as my first car! In conclusion, buy this lens if you are looking for sharp optics, fast focus, and a decent amount of aperture to boot. Check out my sample photo of my wife cutting the neighbor girl's hair... I took it from my desk, hand held at 1/60, 70mm f4, indoors with only ambient light, OS on, and at ISO 6400. Its not a great composition, but you can see the excellent color rendition and clarity of this glass. Very happy.
