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.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Pros:
Feels durable/solid
OS works well. Took a hand held one second shot while braced. Couldn't blow the picture up, but works for sharing.
Zoom and focus rings work smooth.
Image quality is great. I've had a lot of positive comments about the pictures I've taken with it.
Front element does not turn during focus. Great for polerizers and gradient filters.
Much improved auto focus ability over 18-55
Wider aperture allows for a brighter viewfinder. Better for composing shots in lower light.
Cons:
Much heaver then the non IS version of the 18-55. Not sure about the newer ones.
Focus ring is right next to the zoom ring, and turns during auto focus. I had to adjust how I hold my camera.
No full time focus. I have to switch to manual to adjust focus.
AF/Manual focus switch is a little hard to move, could be a good thing, and I may get used to it.
Lens cap doesn't snap on tightly, I have to snap it on, then screw it tight.
The cons are a bit more nit picky then anything really. For anyone with an older 18-55 looking for an upgrade, this is a great choice. I can't compare this to the 18-55 IS II lens however. There are plenty of reviews comparing to other lenses. For the money, this seems like a good bet.
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
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.

Lo que sí puedo decir es que vino sin parasol . El funcionamiento va de maravilla tanto en ÁF o MF tiene una gran luminosidad y en diafragmas abiertos da un magnífico bouquet en fotografía
If you have old non STM 18-55 then buy this sigma blindly. If you have STM lens then you will get same or slightly better sharpness. But Sigma is F2.8 and canon is F4. So there is slight improvement in Sigma images. Canon 18-55 STM lens is best for videos as it’s autofocus is better than Sigma and very silent. Sigma can also take good videos but you will hear autofocus noise in video. I purchased it for photos and videos, as I mostly shoot weddings so autofocus noise is not issue for me. For interviews or seminar recordings this Sigma is not good, use canon STM lens for quite recordings.
Once again I must say, Canon 18-55 STM lens is very good quality lens, Sigma is just slightly better than canon. Sigma will give you confidence for not using kit lens and will take good images/videos.
For home use, stick to 18-55 STM version and buy 50mm F1.8 or 85mm F1.8
Must buy if you have old 18-55 non STM lens.
For professionals, must buy Sigma over any kit lens.
Il est lumineux et propose des photos de qualité. le Grand Angle ne déforme pas trop voir pas du tout les lignes. C'est pour moi en tout cas un outil idéal (je ne fais de la photo qu'en amateur).
Il est cependant lourd et combiné à un boitier comme le Canon 900D impossible d'oublier le tout dans un sac ou autour du cou c'est très lourd.
La confection de l'objectif est de qualité, les matériaux inspirent confiance dans la durabilité du produit. le focus manuel est précis et souple à manipuler. Le mise au point est rapide et silencieuse.
C'est un objectif lumineux, je n'ai pas encore pu le tester pour de l'astrophotographie même s'il risque de montrer ses limites dans ce domaine.
