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:
- 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.
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.
I also ended up getting another one of these for a friend and his copy is just as sharp.
If you're on a crop sensor, don't hesitate into looking at this lens. For 500 bucks, it's a steal. I don't know how Sigma can put such sharp glass, but they've done it.
Quick comparison of this lens against the Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens
Build: The 17-55 is a tank. Weather proofed, but also very heavy. On the other hand, this Sigma 17-70 contemporary is plastic, but also lighter and more compact. When I had the 17-55, I felt the weight on my arms and neck, but with this 17-70, I don't feel much of it.
Focus: The 17-55 is slightly faster. In a side by side comparison, there's not much to say except sometimes the Sigma will hesitate for about 1/4 a second, but the focus is always spot on afterwards.
Zoom Ring: The 17-55 is stiff as all hell when you go toward the wide end (~17-20) and the long end (~45-55). This is quite common with the 17-55. The 17-70 however is buttery smooth throughout the zoom range.
Sharpness: 17-70 beats the 17-55 hands down. Wide open, I had serious issues with the edges being soft and the corner soft. Even with the Nikon at f/4 throughout the range compared to the sigma 17-70 at f/4, the entire frame is sharper than the 17-55.
Bokeh: From what I can see, the 17-70 is creamier. Since bokeh is subjective, people may disagree with me, but I like the smooth transition of the 17-70 more than I do the 17-55.
If you're looking into a 17-55, don't get it unless
- You want a tank
- You want a giant lens with an even bigger lens hood.
- You need the constant f/2.8
- You need weather proofing.
Otherwise, if you want
- Lightweight lens for walkaround
- Sharp sharp sharp sharp sharp
- Optical Stabilization
- Don't need a constant f/2.8
- Want some decent macro
Look into getting the Sigma 17-70.
----------ORIGINAL REVIEW FOLLOWS----------
I bought my copy of this lens from Adorama since it wasn't Prime available here, but I thought I'd fill people in here.
This lens is sharp, sharp, sharp. My copy is pretty good, only requiring a -1 to be sharp, but even at 0 it was still very sharp.
I'm using this on a D7100 and it resolves just fine. The edges and corners wide open aren't mushy, but rather sharp enough to tell details of what's there. Mind you, it's not 14-24 corner sharpness, but it fares much better than my previous Nikon 17-55 f/2.8, which had bad blur outside of the center.
The minor issue I'm referring to is the preview scrolling bug. Basically, when you use this lens, go into playback, and then zoom, if you try to move the zoom cursor, it won't scroll if you hold it down. You have to press it manually to have it scroll.
This small error is fixed by going into live view, then pressing the playback button. Now if you zoom, you should be able to scroll again by holding the directional pad. This has apparently been an error before with the Sigma lenses. Hopefully, the new dock will be able to address this issue in a firmware update. That or Nikon applies a firmware update to the D7100, but I doubt that happening any time soon.
Otherwise, I'm pretty surprised at how this 500 dollar lens has superb sharpness and rendition of colors. I haven't had to do any exposure adjustment, the lens was sharp out of the box, and unlike the other reviewer who had mush sides on his copies, mine doesn't seem to exhibit the same issue on my D7100.
The best part about this lens is that in the future, when Sigma releases the dock, the software with it actually allows micro focus adjustment at 4 different focal lengths (17, 35, 50, and 70) and also at 4 different focal distances, for a total of 16 different fine tune adjustments!
I will continue to update this as I use it more and more, but from the tests I've done at each focal length, it's easy to say that this lens definitely is worth the money paid. If you're on a DX and want a sharp walkaround lens, look no further than 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.
