I ordered one of these lenses from the Amazon Warehouse that was "Like New" and well.... "Like New" is subjective. The first lens would not AF correctly as many of the 1 and 2 star reviews confirm. That being said Chrissy L. from Amazon customer support was amazing in helping me resolve that problem. After the first "Like New" lens I decided it was better to buy a brand new lens. Chrissy L. from Amazon was amazing and gave me overnight shipping to help me out of a crunch as I needed the lens for a shoot the upcoming weekend. Now that I have the new lens, it works great. Its able to focus fast and accurately. The build quality of the lens feels solid. The zoom ring is stiff and smooth. The OS seems to work great. I feel very subjective here, as low as 1/40 of a second I was still getting useable shots. in video mode on my D7000 the OS worked like a champ, successfully muting the small shakes I was putting into the camera. At f/2.8 the lens is a tiny bit soft, but the images are still very useable. If you step down to f/4 the images are razor sharp from 17mm all the way to 50mm. The one downside to the lens is that the manual focus ring is smaller and I have to flip the switch on the lens to be able to use it. While shooting photos its not uncommon for me to flip to video mode take a few seconds of video and then jump back to photos, not having a full time manual override is a bit of a pain, but I am not even going to dock a star for it as it's a small complaint. Another plus is that the filter ring is 77mm. This may not seem like a big deal, but its nice that my existing stock of filters and lens caps will work on this lens as well. Its a small thing but it goes to show the thought that went into the lens design. Over all this lens fits my needs wonderfully. Sharp, accurate and a great fast f-stop. If you are shooting on a DX or crop sensor camera I would strongly recommend this lens, BUT buy it brand new. I would not take my chances with "Like New" anymore. Side Note: While I had the first "Like New" lens Sigma USA did offer to fix or calibrate the lens for me free of charge as it still had all the paperwork in the box. But they said it could take around 2 weeks to turn around. Amazon was able to correct it in days. But I do think it's worth noting that Sigma did stand by their product and offer to help as well.

The short version: Great lens. Sharp, Optical Stabilization (or VR or IS, or whatever you want to call it) works great, pretty much lives on my camera right now. Long(er) version: I started off with a d3200 and its kit lens, plus the 55-200 that comes in one of the bundles (variable aperture, plastic mount, you know the one). I got the 35mm and 50mm 1.8 primes and love them. Then, last summer, I was planning a trip where we'd be out in the mountains a lot, and I knew I needed something wide. reallly really wide. So, I picked up the tokina 11-16 f/2.8. That lens convinced me that I like living on the wide end of focal range. I LOVE that lens. It's been my absolute favorite. I find excuses to use it anywhere I can. Since then, I had been looking for something to fill the 16-35mm gap. I realized that I really really like the focal length on my kit lens (18-55), but I want something faster than 3.5-5.6. In fact, that's exactly what I wanted, my kit lens but faster (I shoot in a lot of low light, and having being able to blur the background a bit is rarely a bad thing). I looked at the Sigma, the Tamron, and the Nikon fixed aperture in this range. Based on reviews, I decided to grab the Sigma. Amazon has a pretty liberal return policy, so I figured, if it sucks, I'll just send it back. I also looked at the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8, and while the salivating reviews of it definitely got my interest, I figured I'd like the extra 15mm of reach, and I figured that for low-light, 2.8 with OS beats 1.8 without it. Since the lens showed up, it hasn't left my camera. I love this thing. It's fast, it's sharp (in some cases, it's sharper at 35mm than my 35mm prime!), and it covers a focal length that I really like shooting (great for just walking around, parties/cookouts, etc). At this point, if I need to shoot a landscape, I'll grab the tokina; if I really need a blurred out background, I'll grab a prime; otherwise, this is my go-to. I'm traveling this weekend to visit some family, and this is the only lens I'm taking with me. I have no idea what we'll get into, but this is such a fantastically versatile lens, that I'm not worried. The one downside to this lens, and this might not even be a downside depending on your preferences, is that it is pretty heavy. I mean, it's not Nikon 24-70 heavy, but it is a dense lens. If you've used a Tokina 11-16, it's in that neighborhood of weight. Also, this might be a nitpick, but I wish the included hood (tulip-style) was a little deeper on the sides. Anyway, fantastic lens. If you're on a DX camera (d3x00, d5x00, d7x00) and want a lens in this focal range, I would highly recommend it.

I initially started looking at the Sigma 17-50 2.8 as an upgrade from my Nikon 18-55 VR kit lens. While I think the Nikon 18-55 VR is a great lens for the price, I wanted something with better resolution and a larger aperture for available light shots. When looking at reviews, I also considered the Nikon 17-55 2.8 and the stabilized Tamron 17-50 2.8. At roughly twice the price and without stabilization, the Nikon was out. And, unfortunately, the stabilized version of the Tamron is optically inferior to the non-stabilized version of the Tamron. So, the Tamron was out. I'd summarize the reviews by saying that most felt that the Sigma was the best value for the money and, on average, optically as good as the Nikon and Tamron. Per reviews and user comments, my concerns regarding the Sigma 17-50 2.8 were focus accuracy (mostly back focus) and soft corners. In as much, I did quite a bit of testing after I received it in order to insure I had a good copy. I found that focus accuracy was very good. Actually, I found it to be more accurate and consistent (at least under test conditions) than my Nikon 18-55 VR kit lens. And, while the corners are a bit soft wide open, they look pretty good by f/4. In fact, I found that when the lens is closed down a stop or two, the corners are actually sharper than those of my Nikon 18-55 VR kit lens. This is not something I expected. Overall sharpness is quite good and is definitely a step up from the Nikon 18-55 VR kit lens. The build quality is wonderful. I do find the zoom ring to be a little bit too stiff, but not problematic (certainly better than having too much play or being too loose). The included lens case and lens hood are also very nice. Ignore the comments about the lens hood being too loose and falling off. Those folks aren't installing the lens hood onto the lens correctly. You need to continue to turn the lens hood until it snaps into place. It takes a bit of effort. However, once it snaps into place it cannot possibly loosen on its own! While the lens comes with a standard one year US warranty, you will get an additional three years when you register it at the Sigma web site. So, assuming you register, you get a total of four years warranty in the US! Overall I'm very pleased with the lens and feel that it's a great deal for $619. I will, however, be keeping my Nikon kit lens as it has better macro capabilities than the Sigma... -Michael

I bought this lens to use with a new Nikon D7200. As with all third-party lenses, you take the risk of compatibility issues and I seem to have run into a small one here. However, it is not really a deal breaker. The lens itself is nice and sharp. The AF is decently fast and the fast f2.8 aperture is welcome when shooting indoors. Optically, I am very happy with this lens. The OS (optical stabilizer) seems to be working fine. When using the lens, you have to be aware that this is a slightly older model, and the focus ring rotates during autofocus. In addition, you have to move the switch to manual focus if you want to manual focus. You cannot override the AF by just turning the focus ring. This also results in a somewhat irritating situation if you happen to have your fingers on the focus ring during autofocus. Since the ring turns, you'll hear a whine when it fights your fingers. So, try to keep your fingers off the focus ring when using AF. Next, the image metadata from my Nikon D7200 does not correctly note if the image stabilization is on or off. This is a minor thing, but is one of those compatibility things you should be aware of. I've saved the biggest compatibility issue for last. The OS system of the lens stays awake for a full minute, keeping the camera from going into standby for a whole minute (I have mine set for 6 seconds). I have yet to shoot through a whole day using the lens so I cannot provide an accurate number regarding how much this affects battery life. However, from other sources I have read, this can reduce effective battery life by 10-20%. My workaround is to turn off the camera when I have completed a sequence of shots. I have read that a Sigma service center can update the firmware on the lens to deal with this issue. I have not tried that yet. My overall thoughts? This lens is great optically. It is also much more affordable than the comparable Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED Zoom Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras, which costs over twice as much. The compatibility issues are relatively minor, and if you carry a spare battery or two with you on long shoots, will not result in major issues. I am happy with the lens because it gives me good optical quality at an affordable price. I'm removing a star because of the compatibility issues, but that is not going to stop me from using the lens.

I was shooting for years with an 18-55 Nikon kit lens (on a D90); I chose to upgrade other parts of my lens family instead of the midrange zoom since it is a good quality lens for the price. But in a bad situation the camera made good friends with the pavement and the 18-55 caught the worst of it. What I was looking for that made me choose this lens: * a midrange zoom somewhere around 18-55 coverage, under $1k. I have a Nikon 55-200 and think you get better IQ by not combining the two ranges. * I've learned I prefer fast lenses since I frequently shoot in low light without a tripod and am a big fan of bokeh. * I often don't shoot in controlled environments so OS helps me get my shots. I've heard that the non-OS lenses are sharper, but I haven't noticed anything undesirable in the sharpness; and one shot you'd otherwise have missed to camera shake seems to make OS worth any loss in sharpness and increase in weight and cost. I'm extremely cautious about major purchases and spent months researching off and on. Nikon's options were more expensive, or were bringing me back to that 3.5-5.6 aperture which, frankly, is frustrating when you shoot manually 90% of the time and have to adapt quickly. Basically it was a battle between Tamron and Sigma offerings, and Sigma seems to frequently have the advantage in sharpness. Obviously both have their proponents but I have no personal experience with Tamron, so that combined with reviews led me here. This is my 2nd Sigma; I also have the 10-20 f/3.5 which is a stunning lens, and have shot with a Sigma zoom on a 35mm cam. While you will read a lot about quality control issues with third-party lenses, don't let it scare you off; just buy from a reputable seller and check the lens for any issues/decentering as soon as you get it. If you get a lens everyone else loves and you think is awful, swap it; it's QC. I'm still "learning" the lens since I've only had it about three weeks, but so far very impressed with it. The IQ is about the same as my 10-20, which under the right conditions will knock your socks off like a 2-3x pricier lens. Rich, realistic colors, sharp in the right places, and good contrast. Focus is fast and quiet (heard the Tammys sound like a dying robot). I'm obsessed with extreme close-ups of small things and like to get right in there with lenses, and have actually found you can get the lens to focus within its official max distance (managed about 8" from an object). You can get really stellar depth of field stuff with the 2.8 aperture, and it's smooth and even too. If you have a fondness for bokeh you're unlikely to go wrong. I'm a "serious hobbyist" I suppose, but this lens at this price would probably please a pro. I used credit card points to bring the price down which was a help, but I'd have paid full price for it. Pros: - overall image quality; good contrast, bright and rich colors comparable to a good Nikkor, good sharpness across lens - 2.8 constant aperture (once you've got constant aperture on a zoom you won't want to go back) - buttery smooth bokeh - optical stabilization - price to quality ratio Cons: - relatively large and heavy - stiff zoom ring. VERY stiff. I hope it will loosen. (I have quite small hands so it may be less trouble if you don't.) - easy to snag rotating focus element on your fingers if you're not careful about your grip (not a big deal though) - large filter size (don't let this put you off; it's not a reason to pass on a lens) - very minor con: for some reason Sigma lens caps have a nasty habit of popping off without notice. Keep an eye on it. The pros definitely outweigh the cons though. This was my top choice after months trying to manage with only a Nikon 35mm 1.8 (wonderful lens, not ideal for everything though!). The combination of sharpness, color/contrast, bokeh, OS, and price make it an excellent choice the vast majority are unlikely to regret. I certainly prefer it to shooting product photos with a wide angle (fun times)! Quick note: Sigma lenses come with zippered cases, not pouches like Nikon; they have stellar padding but are bulky. If you ever transport your lens in an individual case while shooting, I recommend having a second case/pouch for it. I got a Domke lens wrap for putting this in my converted messenger bag.

For those who don't want to read through my personal story, I'll start with the good stuff: Pros: - Wide open, this lens is sharper than Nikon's 17-55 and nearly as sharp as my Nikon 1.8G primes (35mm & 50mm) - Stopped down, it is as sharp as my 50mm and 35mm f/1.8G - Excellent contrast and range - Light enough to carry everyday, but heavy enough to not feel "cheap" - Stabilization works well and is quiet - Very good bokeh for a 2.8 zoom; soft, smooth, and not too busy Cons: - Zoom ring is reversed from typical Nikon lenses (but it's easy to get used to) - No manual focusing when in AF mode; you must turn the switch to MF to allow manual focusing - OS components move a little when the lens is off; you can feel them when you tilt the lens around To summarize the paragraphs below: stop reading and buy this lens! Alright, so if you're anything like me, you have been comparing the three 17-50s: Nikon 17-55, Sigma 17-50, and Tamron 17-50. Maybe you even considered the 24-70 offering. You've been reading thousands of online articles and forums, to the point of frustration. I know; I did the same thing. Well, I can tell you from personal experience, the Sigma 17-50 is the one to get. I originally bought a Nikon 17-55, but I didn't think the picture quality was worth the nearly $1300 asking price. It was a bit soft wide open (as most lenses are), and it was quite hefty for an everyday, walk-around lens. The zoom ring was tight at the widest and farthest ends. Also, the Nikon is not small. In fact, I had a few people comment about how "intimidating" the lens was with the hood on. That's not something you want to hear when you're trying to be "invisible" and capture candids and interactions at events. I know that most pro zooms are on the larger side, but aside from that, I just expected more from a "pro" lens. As a result, I reluctantly decided to compare it to Sigma's 17-50, thinking that if it was at least as sharp as the Nikon, I would be saving some cash and gaining stabilization. I bought one used here on Amazon. Unfortunately, the autofocus was broken; it would just continuously hunt, even in good lighting conditions. Nevertheless, one thing really intrigued me; when manually focused, the pictures were tack sharp! I remember thinking, "wow, this looks better than on the Nikon!" I sent back the used Sigma, and ordered a new one. When it arrived, I popped it on and tried it out... WOW! This thing really impressed me again. Even on my camera's LCD, I could see that this was a very sharp lens. I used the camera for a few days and uploaded the photos into Lightroom to review. I can tell you right now, this lens is impressive! Sharp, crisp, high contrast, rich colors; everything you look for in a lens! I'm not a pixel peeper, but you can zoom way in and see just how detailed and sharp this lens is. I was astonished at the sharpness of this lens even at f/2.8. For half the price of the Nikon, you get a lens that is lighter, sharper, and comes with stabilization. What more could you ask for? Just order it and know that you have the sharpest 17-50 you can buy. *Final Thoughts: Even with the autofocus problem of early Sigma 17-50s, I still highly recommend this lens. Just make sure to buy it from a company like Amazon with a general return/exchange policy. You will not be disappointed!*

I use this lens with the Nikon D7200 body and here is a short little review for those with this particular camera. ***Compatibility: As far as autofocus is concern, I do not see any problem in this area. It focuses quick and extremely accurate with my Nikon D7200 body. Some people are concerned with the battery draining problem associated with this lens on certain Nikon DX body, I am happy to report that this particular problem did not happen in my case. There is one small issue I did find when using this lens is the fact that it overrides the auto standby mode that you set in the camera. I usually set my camera to auto shutoff after 6 seconds when not in use. With this lens, it will take the camera 1 minute to shut itself off when not in use. Not a big deal since it doesn't drain any more battery than usual. ***Construction quality: This lens is very heavy for its size (must have plenty of glass packed in there) and balances well with my D7200 body. The zoom ring is well dampened, but not overly hard to rotate. The manual ring is also nice to turn, even though you have to switch over to "manual" before you can rotate this ring. The copy I received is "Made in Japan" and feels very solid during use. Very high quality plastic and all the switches have a satisfying click. It seems that the lens will hold up well for long term usage (time will tell). No complaint regarding the build quality of the lens. ***Image quality: The first thing I noticed about this lens is how sharp it is. If you're a pixel peeper and want a sharp lens, this would be a good choice. I like the color this lens produced since it is more on the warmer side. Even when shooting wide open at f/2.8, images are mostly sharp and clear. When you stop it down to f/5.6 and up, sharpness evens out across the frame. I am very pleased with the results from this lens. In conclusion, I highly recommend this lens. Please note that it may have compatibility issues with some cameras from certain brands, People who are looking for a good general purpose lens should give this lens a try. Buy from reputable dealers with good return policy in case it doesn't work out for you. I think of this lens as the "24-70mm f/2.8" for crop sensor cameras. I am sure most people would be using this lens 75% of the time due to the range of its focal length. At its current price, give it a shot.

This is a fantastic lens. Sharpness is great, focus is fast, balance feels nice on my Nikon D7000 - Nikon D7000 16.2MP DX-Format CMOS Digital SLR with 3.0-Inch LCD (Body Only) - and I am a big fan of the bokeh it produces. Normally I would give a product like this a 5 Star rating... but the fact that it took me 3 lenses to get one that worked properly out of the box (so far) is a bit disappointing. The first one had back focus so bad that I couldn't correct for it in my camera. The second one the auto focus did not work right as it kept hunting and hunting and would stop out of focus. I received the 3rd one yesterday and gave it a test run today... awesome! So, if you are like me and read every review on the planet and set up Google alerts just to keep tabs on anything new that pops up on a product you have your eye on, then trust me with this... hang in there, order the lens, and be patient if you don't get a perfect one the first time. Send it back if it is wrong and get a replacement, because once you do have a good one, it is everything you will be hoping it will be and then some. - If anything goes wrong from here I will update my review but I am excited to get this lens out and shoot! Until then, good luck. --- Update July 25, 2013 ---> I am selling or trading this lens and have bought the Nikon 17-55mm f2.8 G lens instead. The auto-focus would not work well with my Nikon D7000. Back focus and not locking in consistently was a deal breaker for me and it is worth every penny for the professional Nikon lens to solve for those two things and better image quality.... I wish it was a different story but this is the truth.
