Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM standard zoom lens

 

With a constant f/2.8 aperture, the professional-grade Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM makes a great upgrade to a standard zoom kit lens.

Constant aperture of f/2.8 ; Smooth zooming action ; Delivers excellent results

Manual focus ring is fiddly ; All-plastic outer construction ; Resolution tails off above f/11

Whether you’re buying your first DSLR and want to upgrade the standard zoom kit lens to something a bit more special, or a DSLR owner looking to build a lens collection, the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM is a good place to start . While its build...

Returned Lens - Not professional enough

 

I was expecting more from this lens. Ended up returning it and getting the Nikon 50mm 1.8G which I am very happy with so far. The 17-50mm did not produce vibrant colors or focus as sharp as I was expecting it to for the price. It was nice for wide...

Colors were not vibrant ; Heavy ; Not as sharp as expected
