Comments about Sigma Sigma 17 - 70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC HSM Macro AutoFocus Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Nikon AF Cameras:
I have bought this lens about a 2 months ago and i havent had a chance to spend really quality time with it, Lately i realized it seem to be having a problem with it's focusing. Its ok if object is in close range then pictures are great, but when objects are far away from you around further than 5 meter thats where the problem is i can attach the picture that im talking about, you will see.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 17 - 70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC HSM Macro AutoFocus Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Nikon AF Cameras:
Have been using this lens for the past few weeks. After hearing about Sigma QC issues I was initially bit skeptical, however I still went ahead and I am glad I did. It was a nice upgrade from my D60 kit lens. The focus is extremely fast and accurate.
I wish it had Image stabilization, I guess you can't wish for everything at this price:-) Another flip side is I see a little yellowish tinge sometimes and notice it mostly when the white balance is set to cloudy.
To sum it up it's a nice walk-around / travel lens and I enjoy its near macro capability. Stays on my camera for 80% of the time.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 17 - 70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC HSM Macro AutoFocus Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Nikon AF Cameras:
This is a great lens, my cheapest and best. The macro gives it a big plus, at 60mm it can compete with my Nikkor 60mm/2.8 but it is still semi-macro with 1:2.8. Also with extension tubes it is good. The auto focus which I never use, they say it is slow, my other Sigma 105 Macro is an auto-focos horror, so I could be a Sigma issue. The lens hood fix is loose, I lost the hood and had it replaced. Sigma did not give this lens the EX extension, and after reading a lot of reviews, it is likely that there are differences in the copies. It seems to (lucky) me that I have an excellent one, which is not for sale, not even at 4X the new price.

I have taken a lot of shots with my Sigma 17-70. I have found it to be versatile and sharp. I have been very pleased with it and am looking at other Sigma lenses. I have found the lens to be a great choice for my Nikon D300.

This lens is razor sharp. When I travel I take it and my Tamron 70-200. Just a great lens.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 17 - 70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC HSM Macro AutoFocus Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Nikon AF Cameras:
I bought the Sigma 17-70 for my D100 after a recommendation by a fellow wedding photographer. I was not sure how this lens would compare with my Nikon glass but I have been very happy with the results. This lens has not left my camera since I first mounted it. So far I've shot over 5000 images in just 2 months with fantastic results. Very good color reproduction, fast focus, zoom is smooth. I love the macro feature, something I lacked with the Nikon 24-120 VR. Well worth the price!
