Latest Review Posted | Sigma DC Macro 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 As a main kit lens, this is the cat's meow for me. The only improvement I could ask for would be a constant 2.8. This lens is the equivalent of my film 28-105 range (Vivitar Series 1, 2.8-3.8) which I used for many years, so I'm familiar with the range. It might be nice if it reached a little further, but that would probably cost image quality. For an all purpose zoom, the close focus capability is great (I refuse to call it macro).
Over all, I really want to rate it at 9.75, taking away that 1/4 point for the variable aperture. |
