Description of Sigma 17 70Mm F2 8 4 Contemporary Macro
- A good replacement for a kit lens in terms of aperture and focal lengths. Comfortable rubberized zoom and focus rings, lens hood included. Better than a whale, it works out small details (does not "smoke" on tree branches). Perhaps that's all.
- Very strong distortion at the short end when shooting landscapes, you have to pull it out. Not a portrait, rough drawing of lines (the whale is somewhere softer), it easily "burns out" colors (a slight overexposure passes through it like a solid white spot, I shoot only in raw at 50D). The vignette is very noticeable, especially with side-backlight, both with and without a hood. His 2.8 is darker than the 2.8 of the 24-60 by 1 or 2 stops (design affects). "Dirty" bokeh, does not draw from small details, does not twist, but simply makes a sieve. And specifically, my copy has serious problems with autofocus - in 30% of cases it focuses on a large object BEHIND my point. That is, I aim at a person - and the wall behind him turns out to be in focus. This is most likely a copy.
