The Sigma AF 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM OS is a highly competitive APS-C standard zoom lens and Sigma's best product in this class so far. It's not a flawless lens, though, but none really is. Its biggest weakness is the performance at f/2.8 - the resolution in the image center is already very high here but the image corners are soft between 17-35mm and there's some vignetting at the extreme ends of the zoom range.

With a constant f/2.8 aperture, the professional-grade Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM makes a great upgrade to a standard zoom kit lens. Läs mer Översätt till svenska
On paper this lens look like a winner. The specification for the price is very good indeed. Although the resolution in the centre is usually good, the same cannot be said about the quality towards the edges, especially at wide apertures. Läs mer Översätt till svenska
As far as build quality is concerned, the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM is very sturdy, with a rigid zoom barrel that doesn't need much rotating to go through all the focal lengths. The lens is fitted with Sigma's new FLD (‘˜F' Low Dispersion) glass elements, and provides excellent correction for chromatic aberration. There are two FLD glass elements, as well as one hybrid aspherical lens which gives excellent correction for curvature. Läs mer Översätt till svenska
Originally posted 2010-07-29 on Optyczne.pl When digital cameras with APS-C/DX format sensors appeared on the market, it became obvious that sooner or later the optics manufacturers would have to face a problem of constructing the equivalent of a standard journalistic f/2.8 lens which, in the case of full frame, should have the focal lengths range from 24-28 mm to 70-75 mm.

Mitt favorit objektiv, sitter på hela tiden, fotograferar mycket i dåliga ljusförhållanden, lite trög af i vissa lägen Härligt balanserad men min D7000 och batterigrepp Läs mer
Ett av mina favoritobjektiv till APS-C mycket pga stabilisatorn. Tyvärr halvkass autofokus i dåligt ljus. Har överlevt ett par vintrar. Lätt att få damm i objektivet pga konstruktion vilket kan ge ful bokeh. Zoomringen gick sönder under semestern. Läs mer
Mycket trevligt objektiv, speciellt med tanke på prislappen. Bra ljusinsläpp, skärpa och låg distorsion. Lite lustigt att den inte kallas makro någonstans trots att närgränsen är såpass kort att man bokstavligt talat kan trycka motljusskyddet på motivet man fotar. Det enda jag inte gillar är fokusringen, som roterar på utsidan när man använder AF - man får hålla fingrarna borta. Läs mer
I bought this lens to up-grade from a Canon kit lens. It has totally transformed my camera. Being Sigma's Pro level lens it feels well built but not too heavy, focuses quickly and produces amazingly sharp images. I am extremely pleased with this lens. It comes with a nice padded case and lens hood too. Läs mer Översätt till svenska
From the lenses I used as standard zoom lenses, this is the one I like most and I am satisfied with. It does loose from sharpness when you get to corners, but most lenses have this in this conditions. Optical Stabilizer works fine and is a welcome add on. Colors are warm, specific sigma. The issue with hood being lose and easily unmounting as others have described in reviews, is not present any longer - or at least on my lens. Läs mer Översätt till svenska
