Since I was very pleased with the Sigma 30mm 1.4 EX and 180mm macro EX, I bought this lens second hand to see if it could replace my good old but dying EF 24-85 3.5-4.5 USM (own Canon 10-22, 70-200L f:4, 100-400L, 400L 5.6, 60 2.8 macro, 18-55 IS kitlens, use also 17-40L and 50 1.4).
Pros:
- fast and correct AF
- good image stabilisation
- sharp on wide angle at f:2.8
- short focus distance
Cons:
- not sharp at f:4 on the long side
- big and heavy
- yellowish color tone compared to Canons

nice lens and good customer service
This lens exceeds my expectations (based on reviews that I read online) on all aspect, it is both fast and sharp. the provided lens hood is also a bonus. quite heavy though but that should be fine because you'll be getting higher quality photos compared to any standard kit lenses (I was using...

I bought this lens as a replacement to a Nikon 17-55 F 2.8 damaged irreparably; so consider myself very critical. Features Its a moderately fast 17-70 F2.8 – F4 Variable aperture DX or APS Zoom with Image Stabilisation (OS) and good close focusing ability.
Pros:
- Versatile and useful Zoom Range 17-70
- Image stabilization
- Fast at wide angle
- Smooth bokeh
- Close focus
Cons:
- Annoying Manual Focus switch
- A touch soft at wide apertures
- No weather sealing

Super Sigma Lens
This is very sharp with great colors and contrast lens. Super bokeh. Little bit noisy and not fast but image quality simply superb starting from F2.8.

great lens for great price
Flipkart, as usual, delivered it before the delivery date. So I am a happy customer. I am now using the lens for many days now. It feels sturdy. It is sharp throughout the focal length and aperture wide open. It doesn't lose contrast even on heavily backlit scene.
