Description of 📷 Exceptional Quality: Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC IF Macro Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
- Constructive, focusing, sharpness, lens hood, button locking the trunk, solid appearance. Made in Japan.
- Heavy, 70mm dark, pleasant to the touch rubberized rings collect small debris. The lens hood (in the stowed position) covers the zoom ring.
- Good pictureConvenient size/weightLens hood included
- 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.
- Price/functionality. Assembly. An excellent choice for a beginner.
- 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.
- Good build, material quality, focal length versatility, decent macro, fast and silent focusing
- 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)
- +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
- -Variable aperture -Dark at the far end -Only crop -Carefully check in the store for front-back focus
- 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.
- 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".
