Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM C Lens Review
Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM C Verdict
Those looking for a high quality general purpose zoom lens for their APS-C format DSLR could do a lot worse than this lens from Sigma. As well as sporting a very useful zoom range, having a maximum aperture slightly faster than normal will help with shooting in low light, as will the optical stabilisation, which works very well.Sharpness in the centre of the frame is very good throughout the zoom range, and the close focusing ability is great for close up shooting. It is by no means a perfect lens, but it does offer good quality and useful features at a good value price.
