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.

Update 1 (May 7 2013): I ended up returning my D7100 because I didn't really need to upgrade just yet. So now I'm using it on my trusty D90. The lens is still as sharp as ever. Autofocus is still fast. Having OS is a dream indoors. Since my D90 doesn't have spectacular ISO range before noise shows up, it's nice knowing I can go down to 1/40 or 1/30 and the image comes out tack sharp. 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.

This review is for the nikon version of the sigma lens. It is great lens, very sharp, great colors, and can focus very closely. I used to have a sigma 105mm macro lens more than ten years ago that I sold together with all my Canon film camera stuff. That was the lens that I loved most among all the Canon lens (including 4 prime lenses). I had so much respect for sigma lens. I saw the good reviews about the "new" version of the sigma lens and bought it from amazon. It is really awesome. One big bonus is the macro photography. This one really focus very close. It does not give you 1:1 macro as the prime macro does, but the focus is close enough for, imo, 90% of the scenarios for macro shots. Focusing is fast. The lens feel very solid. The zooming direction is opposite to nikon zoom lens. Not a big deal hear. There are two things I really wish for. First, the lens barrel is about 65mm I think but the front element is big and it takes 72mm filter. High quality 72mm filters are expensive. Second, I really really wish the zoom range to be extend to around 100mm. It can be a lens like 17-105mm f/4 lens and that would be perfect. I don't mind sacrificing the f2.8 aperture in the front end to trade for a longer zoom if that is possible. The 70mm is better than the zoom range in most 18-55mm either kit lens or f2.8 lens, but still not long enough. So I have to keep two lenses when traveling, this one and the nikon 55-300 zoom lens (a great lens also). If the zoom range is 17-105mm, That would be perfect and I only need to take one lens. I have 2 nikon bodies and about 10 nikon lenses. It is definitely sharper and better than the 18-105mm nikon zoom lens. I hesitated a long time between this one and the tamron 28-75 f2.8 lens. The tamron lens is a great lens also but it is just not wide enough. The lens actually is short and balances very well even on d3100 body. I took some testing short and found the sharpness comparable to the 35mm f1.8 and 50mm f1.8 nikon prime lens. If you look very closely at pictures at pixel level, you may see prime lens slight better but the difference is very small. One point deduct for sigma not making the front element smaller like 62 or 67mm size. Update 12/27/13. After a trip to Orlando, I reviewed the hundreds of pictures I took. I am still very satisfied with the lens. The only issue I noticed was the barrel distortion at the wide angle. I have to correct a couple of photos with software. In some occasions I still miss the 70-105 mm zoom range that I lost with the Nikon lens.
