  • Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    good built, decent macro, fast focussing, good sharpness, nice bokeh for this kind of lens
    a little heavy, corners soft at 17mm wide open, focus ring rotates while AF operation

    Nice lens with a decent built quality. I don't understand, why the review here is so poor i guess they got a lemon.
    Also the macro comment is wrong, they write "just under 9 inches" This is measured from the sensor plane! This lens focusses as close as 1cm from the front element. With manual focus even closer.Closer is hardly possible.
