Overview

The Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM Zoom Lens is an incredibly versatile, lightweight, and compact lens designed specifically for digital SLR cameras with APS-C size sensors. The lens has a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range. It features a construction of 17 elements in 13 groups with glass that corrects for flare, ghosting and all types of aberrations. It produces high contrast and sharp images throughout the zoom range even at its maximum aperture.

Sigma's OS (Optical Stabilization) feature allows you to shoot at shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible. This means your images will look sharper, even when shooting without a tripod in low existing light or at maximum range with a flash. This lens is also equipped with Sigma's Hyper-Sonic Motor (HSM) which provides for fast and quiet autofocusing.

The Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 is ideal for many photo opportunities particularly landscapes and portraits, but with its wide focal range and a close focusing distance down to 11" (28cm) you can capture images with unique perspectives. It will quickly become one of the most important lenses in your gear bag.

Perfect 7d standard zoom

Rated 4.7 out of 5 stars.

Outstanding IQ ( image quality ) surpases canon 15-85 which is slightly higher in price. Also F2.8 all the way through. Fastest Auto Focus. Decent build quality. looks great, beautiful night shots. This is the lens for people that love to crop their pictures. I do. Brought my 7D to life after weeks of disapointment with 28-135 kit lens. this lens has two glass that match florite lens glass. Just test your before you by, I did here at Unique and love my new lens plus 7d now. my pics compare to 5D clearity because of this lens.
