The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

I will "use" it until blue in the face. It's not scary to drop it, it costs a third of the "Kenon Elek". As long as you like it! Further it will be seen. Has pros: Sharp, crunchy! I like glasses like this. Good color rendering. Smooth zoom operation. I did not notice any difference between it and the previous 18-50 EX, except for the absence of a golden stripe and an individual bag. Got cons: There is not enough constant aperture (for example, 2.8), it would be quite excellent.

The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

Gl as a replacement for a whale is just right, it is also well suited for reporting, I almost never take it off the carc. The outgoing trunk is not particularly annoying, although in this way it can dust into itself over time. The manual focus ring rotates in autofocus mode, I don’t know if it’s very scary. Different pros: Comfortable, nimble af, pleasantly lies in the hand, the lens hood in the kit also pleases. at 17mm 2.8 saves. Some cons: ! it freezes, at ~ -20 autofocus stops focusing…

Great lens for travel! Yes, and for reporter work is very good. Pros: Great model! after the whale - just a delight! real sharpness, beautifulcomlors, aperture. My second lens is a canon 70-300, so the difference in aperture ratio is very noticeable, although that one is not bad for its purposes. here is a photo for this lens Different cons: It’s very heavy :) but when I tried to use someone else’s canon 50 / 1.8, which is much lighter, I returned to my own one a day later - it’s better to

I am satisfied with the product, it is made well, the price is also pleasing.

I bought it on a 600D instead of a whale 18-55 as an EVERYDAY lens. For several months I studied the reviews and characteristics of different lenses (I'm still new to photography), I read everything, but all the same it was more positive. I used the Canon 50 f / 1.8 II before it and the Sigma acquired a little earlier AF 50-200mm f / 4-5.6 DC OS HSM (good lens, but other focal lengths were needed). I didn’t dare to buy because of the lottery - which copy would come across, because I bought it…

Pros
  • Constructive, focusing, sharpness, lens hood, button locking the trunk, solid appearance. Made in Japan.
Cons
  • Heavy, 70mm dark, pleasant to the touch rubberized rings collect small debris. The lens hood (in the stowed position) covers the zoom ring.

A useless product, its not worth the money.

It was bought in Berlin as a replacement for the whale one, it was not yet in 2022 at that time. The lens turned out to be a factory defect, as a result, autofocus stopped working after some time of use. It is impossible to return a lens under warranty in 2022, because. there is no representative office of this company in 2022 (warranty work only through the place of direct purchase, I bought in Europe and do not have the opportunity to give it to a 2022 company, for them my lens is someone…

Pros
  • Good pictureConvenient size/weightLens hood included
Cons
  • Buying a Sigma lens is a lottery, I pulled out my ticket and flew by with a factory defect. Since the number of defective products affects the overall rating, my rating will not be high. The price could be a virtue, no doubt, but it would be a disadvantage. Why? Because the price includes service support, since it is not available in our country, then the money for it is thrown to the wind and we are buying a pig in a poke. For a pig in a poke, such a price is by no means a virtue, but a disadvantage.

My impression of the purchase is good, buy it.

All information can be found on the internet. All + and all -. To each his own. For a beginner, if you are not afraid of weight and problems with adjustment, this is it. And alignment should be done on Sigma in 50-70% of cases (info from the analysis of Internet messages / forums). Pay attention to the guarantee - whose it is. Because not everyone does free alignment.

Pros
  • Price/functionality. Assembly. An excellent choice for a beginner.
Cons
  • At first, a tight focus wheel in the opposite direction (from 70 to 17) - sometimes I effortlessly get out of the situation by simply turning the camera over and the wheel almost rolls off by itself. Almost always front / back focus - if the store has 1-2 lenses to choose from, then most likely, by 70%, you will leave with back / front.

The perfect product for any user!

I have been using this lens for 14 months, there are no problems, except for a moving trunk and a small front focus, it shoots perfectly, focuses quickly and almost silently. The lens is completely satisfied as a staff member, I took it with me a lot on trips, everything is in order with dust protection. My first Sigma, and I'm not nearly disappointed, although I'm looking at a fast elk. Photo examples: photographed with a polarizer and converted to lightroom http://club. Foto…

Pros
  • Good build, material quality, focal length versatility, decent macro, fast and silent focusing
Cons
  • 2,8 only by 17 mm, a moving trunk, on my copy there is a small front focus, a small soap in the corners (but even expensive Canon lenses have zooms)

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

I strongly recommend it as a staff member on crop. For the money, you won't find a better and more versatile lens. Sharpness is better than Canon's 17-55 2.8 counterpart, more than double the price. Good assembly, hood included. Macro. Even if you don't intend to shoot bugs, you'll be pleased with the bokeh when shooting at the wide end with the aperture wide open for close subjects. A very nice picture overall. Of the minuses, of course, variable aperture. Not suitable for video shooting, for…

Pros
  • +Sharpness + Range of focal lengths for every occasion + The presence of a stabilizer + Surprisingly good assembly for such plastic + Hood included + Availability of macro +Price
Cons
  • -Variable aperture -Dark at the far end -Only crop -Carefully check in the store for front-back focus

A good product at a good price, I advise you to try it.

This lens, obviously, knowingly deserved a high award from EISA in the nomination "European Lens 2022-2022" http://www. Eisa. Eu/awards/history/3/photo. Html I have been choosing a lens to replace the stock Canon EF-S 18-55 IS for a long time. And I couldn't find anything better. If your copy demonstrates front focus or back focus, you can take the lens to a service center, where they will perform a free (during the warranty period) lens alignment. The address of the service center must be…

Pros
  • 1. Convenient range of focal lengths for most situations. 2. Good aperture ratio, although there was an element of craftiness of marketers here. 3. The presence of a stabilizer. 4. A hood is included (Canon, for example, only supplies L-ki with hoods, but not many people can afford their price). And do not think that a hood costs a penny - for a Canon lens, for example, a hood costs about 2 thousand. 5. Japanese assembly (Canon assembles budget lenses in Taiwan) and a two-year warranty. 6. Quality of execution. 7. The main thing. Value for money. According to this indicator, the lens has almost no competitors. And further. I almost forgot. The results of using this lens, as an amateur, not weighed down by extra tens of thousands, are quite satisfactory to me. True, at the same time, I had to deal with the weaknesses of the lens and learn how to smooth them out by choosing shooting parameters.
Cons
  • 1. The main disadvantage of any SIGMA lens is that it must be carefully chosen for your camera. When buying, you should immediately put the lens on the device and check it for accuracy of focusing. I was only lucky the second time around. The first copy had a light front focus. 2. 72mm filters are expensive compared to 58mm filters for a "kit" lens. 3. Pay attention to the resolution graph of this lens. See, for example, here http://www. Lenstip. Com/223.4-Lens_review-Sigma_17-70_mm_f_2.8-4.0_DC_Macro_OS_HSM_Image_resolution. Html From here you can clearly see where the marketers were cunning, attributing to the lens the ability to shoot with aperture 4.0 at a focal length of 70 mm. With aperture 5.6, the result is much better. You can study the graph, remember its main features and avoid setting shooting parameters that make the image "weak" where it is necessary to have "ringing sharpness".

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

A very good amateur-class lens to replace the whale. When I bought it (August 2022), I had about 20,000 in money and wanted to buy a regular lens. As a result, I chose between this lens, as well as canon 17-85, 4-5.6 and tamron 17-50, 2.8. Judged, first of all, by the numbers. Kenon is too dark and Tamron is too short. I chose Sigma and I am satisfied, because in comparison with the other two it has a fairly good DF range, but at the same time it is quite light. The lens is sharp and focuses…

Pros
  • characteristics: range of focal lengths and apertures, lens hood included
Cons
  • stub, "trunk"
