Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM | Contemporary - Sigma SA, Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony A, Pentax K Mount

The Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM | Contemporary is a versatile standard zoom designed for APS-C DSLRs. As part of the Contemporary line, it balances compact dimensions with a relatively fast variable aperture and Optical Stabilisation (OS). It offers a useful 'macro' capability with a close focusing distance of 22cm, making it an excellent all-purpose lens for travel and general photography. It is also compatible with Sigma’s USB Dock for firmware updates. Potential buyers should check the zoom action for smoothness and the OS system for stable performance without jumping. The HSM motor should be quiet and accurate. SDS checks the front and rear elements for scratches and ensures the zoom lock (if equipped) functions correctly. We also verify the lens's communication with the latest DSLR bodies, as some early units may require firmware updates for full compatibility.
