Sigma 17-35mm D lens

 

Sigma made their mark by being proactive when autofocus SLR cameras appeared back in 1985 and now they are applying the same approach to digital. With the new breed of digital SLRs comes a new demand for wider lenses. Most SLRs use a smaller CCD than...

All in all the Sigma 17-35mm delivers a cracking optical performance, and, at less than half the price of a camera maker's own versions, this is a lens that can't fail to please. Test by Peter Bargh

The ‘independents’ offer some interesting alternatives to the standard zoom and Sigma has made its 17-70mm model even more appealing by adding optical stabilisation. Report by Paul Burrows.

REVIEW: Sigma 17-35mm f/2.8-4 EX DG

 

This lens is one that I was looking forward to testing as I have owned its predecessor for some 18 month now The exercise proves beyond doubt that Sigma are taking their programme of change to digitally enhanced models seriously and not just changing...

Quick, quiet autofocus.; Good build quality; Useable filter size; Value for money; Best at wide end

Performance with wide open aperture could be better

Sigma have taken their upgrade program to digitally enhanced lenses seriously and used the opportunity well. This lens is a shining example in which they have addressed the criticisms of the older model and put them all right without putting the price...

bit heavy, the lens cap is sorta weird and a bit bulky

Excellent Lens, versatile and easy to use

 

This is an excellent type of lens to use when taking pictures in low lit conditions with being a zoom lens at an f/2.8. I am experimenting with different kinds of lenses, and this one has to be one of the better lens I used. The body is made from a...

Wide lens diameter, made with durable material, and a wide range of distances for close up shots or far away shots

Slightly heavy, but not a problem
