I'm using this lens with my Canon EOS 7D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera. I previously used the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens that came with it. I also have the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II. Professional reviews for this lens, as well as reviews for Sigma's other new lens (35mm f/1.4 Art) helped convince me to choose this lens over the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8is, Canon 15-85mm is, Tamrom 17-50mm f/2.8 (VC and nonVC), and even Sigma's own 17-50mm f/2.8 OS. Additionally, Sigma boasts new quality control procedures and technologies they claim will drastically cut down on copy-to-copy variances. Finally, at $500, an extra 20mm of reach, and Macro capabilities, the Sigma 17-70 provides more flexibility and value than its fixed-aperture competitors. 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

I've had this lens for about 2 months. I have a Canon Rebel XT with the older 18-55 II non IS lens. It was nearly impossible to get good pictures of my kids unless we were outside in good light. Now, that's not as much of a problem. The wider aperture allows much more light to hit the sensor giving me more keepers. The macro abilities are much better as well. With the 70mm zoom and the close focus distance, I can get great pictures of flowers and such. It's not close enough for shots of insects, but bees and dragonflies will work, if they sit still long enough. Before the 18-55 was a limiting factor in my pictures, now the Rebel is. With the older 8 megapixel sensor, it is easy to get sharp pictures right down to the pixel level. The ability to use faster shutter speeds and the addition of the OS on this lens helps. If you have the newer 18-55 is II lens, I don't know how much of an upgrade this is. But for someone like me that is still living in the dark ages of dslr photography (and will be for a while) this is a worthy upgrade. I'm not getting great vibrant colors with it, but I never did with my 18-55 either. I don't know it it's the camera, lens or just me. 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.

If there was only one lens I could chose to bring along with me anywhere, it would be this Sigma 17-70mm without a doubt! I rarely have a specific photo shoot in mind when I go anywhere. So usually I would bring two or three lenses with me just to cover all the focal lengths. But that obviously gets bulky and heavy pretty quick. This lens covers wide-angle at 17mm with f/2.8 all the way to medium/telephoto at 70mm with f/4. With that range, I don’t even need to bring anything else with me on a daily basis which is a huge deal! It’s a fast lens that still stops down enough to photograph silky waterfalls with slower shutter speeds. At the larger apertures, the out of focus areas (bokeh) are not super smooth, but still look great and not at all a deal breaker. Like other Sigmas, it’s also not as sharp at larger apertures, but still not a deal breaker. The autofocus is fast and accurate! The motor makes just a little bit of noise, but I hardly ever notice it. I enjoy photographing motocross races which are very fast paced. With the continuous autofocus set, it tracks the racers no problem. The optical stabilization also comes in handy during the races. I’m able to get blurred action shots with the racers perfectly sharp. With all the great features of the Sigma 17-70mm, coupled with the unbeatable price, it’s the perfect lens for the photography enthusiast that wants to bring versatility and range to their run-and-gun setup, but not break the bank.
