17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro (OS)* HSM | C

Contemporary Design, Out-Of-This-World Performance

The 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro HSM OS is the first lens in the Contemporary category of Sigma’s Global Vision. The Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 was designed to be the ideal all-purpose lens for APS-C sized sensors. With a great focal length and macro capability, the 17-70mm F2.8-4 is also equipped with a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) and an Optical Stabilizer (OS) for superior image quality. The HSM ensures quiet, accurate, and fast autofocusing while the OS compensates for camera shake when shooting by hand. The construction of the 17-70mm includes new TSC material (Thermally Stable Composite), which allows for increased durability as well a reduction in size by 30% compared to conventional models. Two FLD glass elements, which have performance equal to fluorite, are incorporated with one SLD element to reduce color aberration at the highest degree. The 17-70mm F2.8-4 Macro DC HSM OS is compatible with the Sigma USB dock for an increased level of customization. The perfect all-purpose travel lens, the 17-70mm F2.8 Macro DC HSM OS is a must have for any camera bag.

Dimensions (Diameter x Length): 79mm x 82mm mm/3.1in x 3.2in

Weight: 465g / 16.4oz

USB Dock Compatibility

Sigma has developed special software (SIGMA Optimization Pro) that can update the lens firmware and adjust parameters such as focus.

    very sharp lens superb glass and solid build
    4 Stars
    very sharp lens superb glass and solid build
    This review is for the nikon version of the sigma lens. It is great lens, very sharp, great colors, and can focus very closely. I used to have a sigma 105mm macro lens more than ten years ago that I sold together with all my Canon film camera stuff. That was the lens that I loved most among all the Canon lens (including 4 prime lenses). I had so much respect for sigma lens. I saw the good reviews about the "new" version of the sigma lens and bought it from amazon. It is really awesome. One big bonus is the macro photography. This one really focus very close. It does not give you 1:1 macro as the prime macro does, but the focus is close enough for, imo, 90% of the scenarios for macro shots. Focusing is fast. The lens feel very solid. The zooming direction is opposite to nikon zoom lens. Not a big deal hear.There are two things I really wish for. First, the lens barrel is about 65mm I think but the front element is big and it takes 72mm filter. High quality 72mm filters are expensive. Second, I really really wish the zoom range to be extend to around 100mm. It can be a lens like 17-105mm f/4 lens and that would be perfect. I don't mind sacrificing the f2.8 aperture in the front end to trade for a longer zoom if that is possible. The 70mm is better than the zoom range in most 18-55mm either kit lens or f2.8 lens, but still not long enough. So I have to keep two lenses when traveling, this one and the nikon 55-300 zoom lens (a great lens also).If the zoom range is 17-105mm, That would be perfect and I only need to take one lens.I have 2 nikon bodies and about 10 nikon lenses. It is definitely sharper and better than the 18-105mm nikon zoom lens. I hesitated a long time between this one and the tamron 28-75 f2.8 lens. The tamron lens is a great lens also but it is just not wide enough. The lens actually is short and balances very well even on d3100 body. I took some testing short and found the sharpness comparable to the 35mm f1.8 and 50mm f1.8 nikon prime lens. If you look very closely at pictures at pixel level, you may see prime lens slight better but the difference is very small.One point deduct for sigma not making the front element smaller like 62 or 67mm size.Update 12/27/13. After a trip to Orlando, I reviewed the hundreds of pictures I took. I am still very satisfied with the lens. The only issue I noticed was the barrel distortion at the wide angle. I have to correct a couple of photos with software. In some occasions I still miss the 70-105 mm zoom range that I lost with the Nikon lens.
