Review on Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD Lens: Large Aperture Standard Zoom for Canon DSLR - International Version (No Warranty) by Somchai Kittisak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

I took a new one. For a long time I thought about leaving or returning it (while it was legal 2 weeks), firstly, it was unusual to use a non-Canon lens, and secondly, autofocus behaved rather strangely. But after numerous tests, I decided to leave it anyway. Basically no regrets. The lens perfectly shoots portraits, landscapes, and also showed itself perfectly when working in the studio. Aperture, autofocus speed and stabilizer allow you to shoot a fast-moving, restless 2-year-old child with a minimum number of misses, which is good news.

Pros
  • 1. Working at all focal apertures 2.8. 2. High quality workmanship. 3. Rich equipment. 4. Adequate price for such characteristics. 5. Convenient focal lengths. 6. Looks impressive. 7. Fast autofocus. 8. Quite sharp even wide open. 9. Pleasant bokeh. 10. Made in Japan (not an indicator, but nice). 11. Pretty good stabilizer.
Cons
  • 1. A little chromate and vignetting, but not critical. 2. As already mentioned, the focus ring turns easily in manual mode. 3. In the off state, the stabilizer block clanks inside, not a fatal flaw, but annoying from time to time. 4. Specifically, on my lens, the focus periodically smears on different values ​​depending on the focal length. I'm planning on getting it adjusted. 5. On the street, it drains the battery faster than other lenses, there were no such problems in the studio.
