Sigma 17-70 F2.8-4.0, when?

plennon · 12-16-2012, 03:40 PM

Hi,

I am interested in purchasing the Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro HSM Zoom Lens, but your site lists it as discontinued. Do you have any idea when Sigma will release the next version of this lens? Do you think it will sell for the same price?

Thanks for your help,
Paul

Here is the successor: Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM (Contemporary) Lens Reviews - Sigma Lenses - Pentax Lens Review Database

The price and launch date are both TBA, I will let B&H confirm, but I don't think Sigma has said anything about this lens beyond what they published in the original press release.

Hello,

Sorry, at this time we have no indication when the lens will become available from Sigma USA.
