Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC Macro

Review of the Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC Macro lens

By caiyunming (photographyreview.com)

Manufacturer's Description

It can be used with wide variety of subjects and it is an ideal large aperture standard zoom lens for digital SLR cameras featuring APS-C size image sensor. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 7.9" (20cm) throughout the entire zoom range. Maximum magnification of 1:2.3 enables close-up photography like a macro lens.
