Review on Sigma 17 70Mm F2 8 4 Contemporary Macro by Chun Hee Kim ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well done, but I won't buy any more.

I bought it 4 years ago, the first copy turned out to be sharp, for 4 years not a single failure, it works (ugh 3 times) like clockwork. The picture gives a decent one, there is no front / back focus, XA within reasonable limits, it gives a color shift to red, and since the hsm motor focuses more slowly than Canon lenses. The focus ring does not dangle like cheap canons, so manual focusing on it is more pleasant, I appreciated this when the focusing system on the camera failed.

Pros
  • Sharpness, aperture, focal length range, non-rotating front lens, hood included
Cons
  • Lack of a stabilizer, expensive filters for such a thread

Got pros: wide range of focal lengths, sharp enough, fast enough autofocus, very decent macro 1: 2, minimum focusing distance from the front lens is 3-4 cm. (20 is from the matrix!) Has cons: 2.8 ends at about 35mm, I would like more, the zoom slides back under its own weight.

In short, for your money - the best "staff"! Sharp, fast, not large, aperture.

In general - an excellent staffer, in my opinion, the best of what is.
