Description:
FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) glass elements FLD glass is the highest level low dispersion glass available with extremely high light transmission. This optical glass has a performance equal to fluorite glass which has a low refractive index and low dispersion compared to current optical glass. It also benefits from high anomalous dispersion. These characteristics give excellent correction for residual chromatic aberration (secondary spectrum) which cannot be corrected by ordinary optical glass and ensures high definition and high contrast images. This lens incorporates two FLD glass elements, which compensate for colour aberration. In addition, two glass mold elements and one hybrid aspherical lens give excellent correction for field curvature and astigmatism. High definition images are ensured throughout the entire zoom range .
Sigma’s unique Large aperture throughout the entire zoom range The large F2.8 aperture allows the use of fast shutter speeds and provides a bright viewfinder image, helping the photographer confirm accurate focusing. It is also ideal for emphasizing the subject by creating a natural, blurred background. .
Covering a wide range of focal lengths This lens covers a wide range of focal lengths from 17mm and has an equivalent angle of view of a 25.5-75mm with a 35mm SLR camera. It is ideal for general photography as well as portraits and landscapes.
Compact construction The lens has a compact construction with a diameter of 83.5mm, overall length of 91.8mm and weight of 565g. This compact and lightweight construction makes it ideal for travel photography. .
Super Multi-Layer Coating and superior peripheral brightness The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting as well as providing sharp and high contrast images throughout the entire zoom range. This lens also benefits from superior peripheral brightness and provides sharp and high contrast images even at the maximum apertures. .
Fast and quiet AF with internal focusing The lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic motor), ensuring fast and quiet AF. The inner focusing system eliminates front lens ration, making the lens particularly suitable for using the supplied petal-type hood and circular polarising filters. .
Close focusing capability This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 28cm throughout the entire zoom range and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5. .
Rounded diaphragm This lens has rounded 7 blade diaphragm which creates an attractive bokeh to the out of focus area of the image.

5.0 out of 5 stars An awesome entry level lens for APC-S cameras
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I have been using this lens non-stop for the past 3 years for both photography and film making and I have to say for the price and performance it’s one of the best lenses to use for an APC-S camera body. I was so confident in my initial choice of the lens I bought two, which I use for different functions and it satisfied my needs during those times. Just so you are aware I use a D5500 body along with it, which is known for having 1.5 x crop factor. With that in mind here are the pros and cons.PROs:- It’s versatile as an all-round photography lens. The 17-50mm on APC-S is the focal equivalent to a 24-70 on a full frame camera. At 17mm It is awesome for landscapes/wide angle shots, whilst the 50 mm will behave quite like a 70mm prime for portraits.- Uses a 77mm thread for filter which is common for most fixed aperture lenses- Between the 35-50mm range the lens offers great bokeh for portraits.- Having a fixed f/2.8 aperture is brilliant for low light photography and filmmaking and it feels like you have multiple prime lens. It allows plenty of light onto the camera sensor to keep the ISO & shutter speed at low values.- The auto focus is fast and silent on the D5500 at all focal lengths, and the optical stabilisation is great for capturing sharp images that are stationary or moving.6. Focusing is pretty accurate on wide to medium shots and is useful for manually focussing at infinity if landscape photos are your niche.7. The addition of a lock mode is great to eliminate any breathing when in use or aiming down.8. At f/4-5.6 the images and video produced is super sharp, which is where you should be working from most of the time.CONs:1. The lens is a lot heavier and bulkier than other kit lens to compensate for the fixed aperture.2. The build quality takes a hit due to price reducing. Some people might like the finish others won’t.3. You can feel and hear the internal components move around if you shake the lens and the supplied lens hood can easily fall off.4. The zoom and focus rings are arranged opposite to normal NIKON lens, which can be jarring to new users.5. The manual focus range is extremely limited especially in close up shots, so be aware of the minimum distance you can rack focus to whether in manual or auto.6. At f/2.8 on all focal lengths you can notice the image sharpness gets a bit soft and there is a subtle vignette at the lower focal length range.7. The focal length zoom is an external rather than internally function which isn’t great for filming unless the camera is station at all times.Considering most people who are looking at this len probably are starting out with either/both the 18-55 Nikon kit lens and Tamron 70-300 VC, this of course is the natural progression to advancing your photography. Along with the NIKON 35 mm and 50mm prime lens this would be among my go to lens if I started again from scratch.As a film maker or vlogger, I will admit it might not tick all the boxes and that’s in part due to the negatives addressed. If you really are on a tight budget by all means go for it, but if you’re going to do it professionally I’d often recommend saving the money and getting the sigma art 18-35mm f1.8 and future proof the investment.Regardless of the negatives I still love this lens as it is overall a good purchase, it’s ideal for travel being an all-around lens and can produce truly stunning images with minor issue being fixable in post. I absolutely would recommend this.
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Lens
Lens is much better than I expected, I initially wanted the nikon version to use at weddings, however I couldn't justify the cost and was a little disappointed that I had to go for this version.After reading so many reviews and doing so much research into this lens the nikon 17-55 and the Tamron version I ended up choosing this one out of the 3.I am so glad that I did, the build quality for this lens is much better than I expected the zoom ring feels very tight and solid and the front element looks very nice.The only thing missing ergonomics wise is the old EX texture to the lens that sigma used to coat there lenses with which I was a fan of, this however doesn't impact the performance of the optics which are simply brilliant even wide open right across the focal range, its certainly an upgrade to any kit lens.I read a couple of reviews stating that is soft wide open, granted all lenses will be softer wide open however this isn't really noticeable and I certainly don't notice the difference if I'm not looking at Exif data.I would like to point out that this was based on centre sharpness.Border sharpness is slightly lower than the centre which is not an issue if you stop down, this isn't really as big a deal as some reviews/people make it out to be as in practice I only shoot portrait wide open and the boarder is usually out of focus anyway (due to depth of field effect) You would naturally stop down for landscape shots anyway thus bringing the entire frame into sharp focus including the boarders.I haven't really taken this off my D90 since buying it as the OS, coupled with the F2.8 constant aperture is very good for shallow Depth of field and low light portraits, so much so that I don't bother with my 50mm prime any more and I have sold it as a result.My only niggle is that Nikons Silent Wave autofocus system has full time manual override whereas this version of HSM doesn't as the focus ring moves on autofocus.All in all thought, this is a surprisingly very good lens which is incredibly sharp, useful low light and an excellent portrait lens I am unable to understand why the Nikon is so expensive when this is as good as it is for the cost (even comparing nikons non VR to cannons IS version threes almost 50% cost difference)
4.0 out of 5 stars Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 is a good performer
My first impressions;I may update and do a more in depth review later as I have only used this lens in Theatre lighting, which is a unfair test for most lenses.How did it perform?The contrast is very good likewise so is the colour reproduction accurate, but what about sharpness?Well not the sharpest lens in my kit, but then it's competing with Sigma Art lenses so perhaps it's an unfair comparison especially considering the price point.Theatre lighting is both contrasty and often oversaturated often in the reds and blues add to this that light comes from many directions and only the wide angle hood is the only protection against stray light.So considering all of the above, I would say the lens performed well in contrast, focus, and sharpness, I would digitally zoom to 1.6x before softness became obvious.The lens was mounted on a Canon R7 recording video at 4k and left un-attended as a wide stage shot only, for this purpose the Sigma 17-50mm worked well, but if I ever move to outputting my videos in 4k instead of HD, then this lens may not be up to the job.I do suspect though that used in stronger natural light this lens would achieve better results, so will give an update later.Do bear in mind that this is an earlier generation lens so image stabilisation is a bit sluggish, and you can clearly hear the focus motor at work, which where common with most lenses around 10 years ago.Is it worth the money, even on the demanding R7, under better lighting conditions, I believe this lens would stand up well to todays lenses as far as image quality goes, so if you are looking for a fast all rounder for your crop sensor camera, then give this one some consideration.

Je suis satisfaite de mon achat.Points positifs :Très bon objectif, très polyvalent et lumineux, avec un très bon piqué.Points négatifs :A la prise en main, l'objectif assez lourd et j'ai trouvé la bague dure à tourner au départ. Après plusieurs mois d'utilisation, je ne sais pas si ça vient du fait que je m'y sois habituée mais j'ai l'impression que celle ci est un peu plus souple.
Fabelhaftes Objektiv - an APS-C für das Geld ein Pflichtkauf!
Zwischenzeitlich habe ich mein Sigma F2,8 EX DC OS HSM-Objektiv fast 2 Jahre und bin auch nach mehreren tausend Fotos jedes Mal auf's neue begeistert. Das Objektiv habe ich mir 2018 als Upgrade für eine D5300 gekauft. Mein Kitobjektiv habe ich, obwohl es als 18-105mm (F3,5-5,6) durchaus für einige Aufnahmesituationen besser geeignet wäre, seit dem Tag nicht wieder angefasst. Es hat mir einfach keinen Spaß mehr gemacht, weil es für 99% der Fälle die schlechtere Alternative gewesen wäre. Dafür ist das Sigma einfach zu gut.Inzwischen haben auch einige andere Objektive den Weg an meine Kamera gefunden und mit zunehmender Erfahrung habe ich auch einen etwas differenzierteren Blick auf die Optiken im Allgemeinen und auf das Sigma im Speziellen:Optimaler Brennweitenbereich für ein Standardzoom an APS-CAn Vollformat ist unbestritten das 24-70mm 2.8 das universellste Objektiv. Für viele professionelle Fotografen ist es DAS Arbeitstier. Mit 24-70mm kann man an Vollformat alles machen, auch wenn es für einzelne Anwendungsbereiche natürlich speziellere Objektive gibt, die besser geeignet sind. Für Sportfotografie und Wildlife ist es bspw. etwas zu kurz. Das geht mit einem längeren Tele in den meisten Situationen besser. Das 24-70mm 2.8 ist mehr der Generalist als der Spezialist.An APS-C sieht das aber aufgrund des Cropfaktors etwas anders aus. Ein 24-70mm 2.8, dass natürlich ebenfalls an APS-C (Faktor 1,5 bei Nikon) verwendet werden kann, funktioniert dort wie ein 36-105mm. Dadurch fehlt einiges an Weitwinkel, jedoch gewinnt man auch einiges an Tele dazu. Das ist kein schlechter Brennweitenbereich, jedoch für Aufnahmen in Innenräumen unter Umständen schon zu lang und eben nicht so universell wie 24-70mm an Vollformat. Um das 24-70mm an Vollformat für APS-C zu ersetzen bedarf es eine kleinere Brennweite wie bspw. das Sigma 17-50mm. Umgerechnet entspricht das einem Brennweitenbereich von 25,5-75mm und deckt damit den Brennweitenbereich eines Standardzooms an Vollformat vollständig ab. Dank der durchgängigen Blende 2.8 ist auch an APS-C das Freistellen gut möglich.Bildschärfe teilw. auf Niveau von FestbrennweitenJe nach Brennweite ist das Sigma geradezu unverschämt scharf. Es beginnt bei 17mm relativ weich, gewinnt aber durch Abblenden gut an Schärfe. Ab Blende 4 sind die Aufnahmen scharf, wobei der Rand bis Blende 8 hier noch zulegt. Die Schärfe der Mitte wird aber am Rand nie erreicht.Ab 24mm ist das Sigma offenblendig scharf. Hier gibt es im Zentrum nichts mehr auszusetzen. Der Rand gewinnt aber durch Abblenden weiterhin. Bei 35mm ist es bei Blende 2.8 sichtbar(!) schärfer als mein Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm 1:1,8G - das Nikon dann auf 2.8 abgeblendet versteht sich.LichtstärkeMit einer durchgängigen Blende von 2.8 erweitert es die fotografischen Möglichkeiten verglichen zu den lichtschwächeren Kitobjektiven gewaltig. Fotografieren bei wenig Licht und/oder das Freistellen von Objekten wird möglich, weswegen viele Situationen und Motive fotografisch deutlich besser behandelt werden können. Verglichen zu einem Standardzoom mit einer Blende von 3.5-5.6 sammelt das Sigma am kurzen Ende doppelt und am langen Ende vier mal soviel Licht ein. Das resultiert in dramatisch kürzeren Verschlusszeiten und einer dramatisch verringerten Tiefenschärfe, wodurch Objekte eben freigestellt werden.VerarbeitungMit einem Gewicht von 565g ist das Sigma deutlich schwerer als die kleine Kitlinse und wiegt immer noch mehr als das Nikon 18-140mm 3.5-5.6 Reisezoom. Die Verarbeitung ist tadellos, der Zoom ist griffig und hat einen angenehmen Widerstand. Die manuelle Fokussierung ist dagegen etwas leichtgängig und hat lediglich einen Weg von 60° vom einen zum anderen Ende. Das geht besser. Mein Exemplar hat auch nach zwei Jahren intensiver Nutzung keine Gebrauchsspuren oder sonstigen Alterungserscheinungen.Autofokus und OSMBeide Systeme funktionieren tadellos. Der Autofokus ist ausreichend schnell und treffsicher. Beim Fotografieren von sich bewegenden Zielen geht die Ausschußquote aber natürlich nach oben. Beide Systeme arbeiten nicht geräuschlos. Da ich nicht Filme, kann ich zu der Eignung dieses Objektives hierzu nichts sagen.Die KonkurrenzSchaut man etwas Rechts und Links bieten die folgenden Objektive ähnliche Eigenschaften:AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55 mm 1:2,8G IF-ED- verglichen mit dem Sigma geradezu unverschämt teuer (aktueller Neupreis EUR 1489,00)- laut DXOMARK sichtbar schlechtere AbbilungsleistungenTamron SP AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II LD Asphericalo mit ca. EUR 300 ungefähr das gleiche Preisniveau wie das Sigma- laut DXOMARK minimal schlechtere AbbildungsleitungenSigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC MACRO OS HSM C+ mit 70mm etwas länger als das Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM Nikon+ größerer Abbildungsmaßstab- mit einem Preis ca. EUR 400 etwa EUR 100 teurer- laut DXOMARK sichtbar schlechtere Abbilungsleistungen- Lichtstärke ist am langen Ende nur wenig besser verglichen mit den Kitobjektiven und hat damit die gleichen fotografischen Einschränkungen wie eben diese.Mein Fazit nach zwei JahrenFür dieses Geld ist dieses Objektiv ein Pflichtkauf an APS-C. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis und die Bildschärfe sind phänomenal! Die fotografischen Möglichkeiten durch die hohe durchgehende Lichtstärke sind enorm und durch den Brennweitenbereich passt es an APS-C für viele Aufnahmesituationen. Klare Kaufempfehlung!
Awesome build quality!
Still waiting for my new camera body so I'm not able to test the features such as image quality and AF speed before I write this review. But I will just talk about the service I received from the seller and the build quality of the actual lens delivered to me.First, the shipping is amazingly fast! It took just seven days from the lens shipped from Japan to it was delivered to me in Canada (shipped two days after order placed), while Bolo gave an estimated delivery time of one and a half month! Great seller and shipping!So, here's the lens I received. The lens's is brand new and the box nicely wrapped with bubbles to protect it from damage. The box contains the user guide, warranty and the actual lens (with lens hood) contained in the sigma lens bag specially designed for this 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD lens. The lens looks nice and tough, although made of plastic. The outstanding gold ring, which is the symbol of Sigma EX class lens, gives it the feeling of professional, and the large front glass (77mm filter size) looks handsome as well. A good news of this lens is that Sigma has already changed its old skin-feel lens coating (complained to drop easily) to the new coating, and the problem that lens hood being too loose on some old versions of this lens has been fixed.Now comes to the rings and switches. The zoom ring is designed with a good feeling with smooth zooming operations. However, this does not mean that you can enjoy zooming with this lens: the zoom ring is relatively tight compared to original Canon lenses. Same thing appears on many other Sigma lenses. It is not a problem, but it does impact users' experience using this lens. So I will remove 2 marks out of 100 from here. Focus ring is fairly smooth when focusing manually, and is not so tight as zoom ring, which is good. The AF is driven by an HSM motor, which provide fast and quiet auto focusing. It is easy to see from the focus ring that it only covers less than 45 dgrees to focus from minimum distance to infinity. And as I said I don't have my new camera body here so I can't test whether it is quiet with auto focusing, but I guess it can be very fast. One thing that disappointed me is that although an HSM is installed, the lens doesn't employ full-time manual focusing, which means you can't turn the ring to change focus status while AF is on. I will take 5 marks from here. The lens has an AF-MF switch and an OS ON-OFF switch, and they work well. There's another switch beside the zoom ring, saying "lock" on it. In many other reviews it was called the "zooming lock", which I would disagree, because this switch can only be used at the 17mm point, and protect the inner tube of the lens from coming out when travelling. It cannot be locked at any other focal lengths, nor can it keep the lens in a fixed focal length when shooting, so personally I regard this switch as not quite necessary. 2 marks taken from here.One of the biggest issue that other reviewers talked about this lens is the cracking noise when you shake it. I guess that must be part of the Optical Stablizer. I don't think it's a big problem. Nobody shake the lens when shooting anyway. So I only take 2 marks here.Overall the lens results 89% in build quality, which still reaches a five-star. If you would like to know the image quality of this lens you can refer to other reviewers' writings, and I look to test it as soon as possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars An awesome entry level lens for APC-S cameras
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I have been using this lens non-stop for the past 3 years for both photography and film making and I have to say for the price and performance it’s one of the best lenses to use for an APC-S camera body. I was so confident in my initial choice of the lens I bought two, which I use for different functions and it satisfied my needs during those times. Just so you are aware I use a D5500 body along with it, which is known for having 1.5 x crop factor. With that in mind here are the pros and cons.PROs:- It’s versatile as an all-round photography lens. The 17-50mm on APC-S is the focal equivalent to a 24-70 on a full frame camera. At 17mm It is awesome for landscapes/wide angle shots, whilst the 50 mm will behave quite like a 70mm prime for portraits.- Uses a 77mm thread for filter which is common for most fixed aperture lenses- Between the 35-50mm range the lens offers great bokeh for portraits.- Having a fixed f/2.8 aperture is brilliant for low light photography and filmmaking and it feels like you have multiple prime lens. It allows plenty of light onto the camera sensor to keep the ISO & shutter speed at low values.- The auto focus is fast and silent on the D5500 at all focal lengths, and the optical stabilisation is great for capturing sharp images that are stationary or moving.6. Focusing is pretty accurate on wide to medium shots and is useful for manually focussing at infinity if landscape photos are your niche.7. The addition of a lock mode is great to eliminate any breathing when in use or aiming down.8. At f/4-5.6 the images and video produced is super sharp, which is where you should be working from most of the time.CONs:1. The lens is a lot heavier and bulkier than other kit lens to compensate for the fixed aperture.2. The build quality takes a hit due to price reducing. Some people might like the finish others won’t.3. You can feel and hear the internal components move around if you shake the lens and the supplied lens hood can easily fall off.4. The zoom and focus rings are arranged opposite to normal NIKON lens, which can be jarring to new users.5. The manual focus range is extremely limited especially in close up shots, so be aware of the minimum distance you can rack focus to whether in manual or auto.6. At f/2.8 on all focal lengths you can notice the image sharpness gets a bit soft and there is a subtle vignette at the lower focal length range.7. The focal length zoom is an external rather than internally function which isn’t great for filming unless the camera is station at all times.Considering most people who are looking at this len probably are starting out with either/both the 18-55 Nikon kit lens and Tamron 70-300 VC, this of course is the natural progression to advancing your photography. Along with the NIKON 35 mm and 50mm prime lens this would be among my go to lens if I started again from scratch.As a film maker or vlogger, I will admit it might not tick all the boxes and that’s in part due to the negatives addressed. If you really are on a tight budget by all means go for it, but if you’re going to do it professionally I’d often recommend saving the money and getting the sigma art 18-35mm f1.8 and future proof the investment.Regardless of the negatives I still love this lens as it is overall a good purchase, it’s ideal for travel being an all-around lens and can produce truly stunning images with minor issue being fixable in post. I absolutely would recommend this.
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Lens
Lens is much better than I expected, I initially wanted the nikon version to use at weddings, however I couldn't justify the cost and was a little disappointed that I had to go for this version.After reading so many reviews and doing so much research into this lens the nikon 17-55 and the Tamron version I ended up choosing this one out of the 3.I am so glad that I did, the build quality for this lens is much better than I expected the zoom ring feels very tight and solid and the front element looks very nice.The only thing missing ergonomics wise is the old EX texture to the lens that sigma used to coat there lenses with which I was a fan of, this however doesn't impact the performance of the optics which are simply brilliant even wide open right across the focal range, its certainly an upgrade to any kit lens.I read a couple of reviews stating that is soft wide open, granted all lenses will be softer wide open however this isn't really noticeable and I certainly don't notice the difference if I'm not looking at Exif data.I would like to point out that this was based on centre sharpness.Border sharpness is slightly lower than the centre which is not an issue if you stop down, this isn't really as big a deal as some reviews/people make it out to be as in practice I only shoot portrait wide open and the boarder is usually out of focus anyway (due to depth of field effect) You would naturally stop down for landscape shots anyway thus bringing the entire frame into sharp focus including the boarders.I haven't really taken this off my D90 since buying it as the OS, coupled with the F2.8 constant aperture is very good for shallow Depth of field and low light portraits, so much so that I don't bother with my 50mm prime any more and I have sold it as a result.My only niggle is that Nikons Silent Wave autofocus system has full time manual override whereas this version of HSM doesn't as the focus ring moves on autofocus.All in all thought, this is a surprisingly very good lens which is incredibly sharp, useful low light and an excellent portrait lens I am unable to understand why the Nikon is so expensive when this is as good as it is for the cost (even comparing nikons non VR to cannons IS version threes almost 50% cost difference)
4.0 out of 5 stars Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 is a good performer
My first impressions;I may update and do a more in depth review later as I have only used this lens in Theatre lighting, which is a unfair test for most lenses.How did it perform?The contrast is very good likewise so is the colour reproduction accurate, but what about sharpness?Well not the sharpest lens in my kit, but then it's competing with Sigma Art lenses so perhaps it's an unfair comparison especially considering the price point.Theatre lighting is both contrasty and often oversaturated often in the reds and blues add to this that light comes from many directions and only the wide angle hood is the only protection against stray light.So considering all of the above, I would say the lens performed well in contrast, focus, and sharpness, I would digitally zoom to 1.6x before softness became obvious.The lens was mounted on a Canon R7 recording video at 4k and left un-attended as a wide stage shot only, for this purpose the Sigma 17-50mm worked well, but if I ever move to outputting my videos in 4k instead of HD, then this lens may not be up to the job.I do suspect though that used in stronger natural light this lens would achieve better results, so will give an update later.Do bear in mind that this is an earlier generation lens so image stabilisation is a bit sluggish, and you can clearly hear the focus motor at work, which where common with most lenses around 10 years ago.Is it worth the money, even on the demanding R7, under better lighting conditions, I believe this lens would stand up well to todays lenses as far as image quality goes, so if you are looking for a fast all rounder for your crop sensor camera, then give this one some consideration.

Je suis satisfaite de mon achat.Points positifs :Très bon objectif, très polyvalent et lumineux, avec un très bon piqué.Points négatifs :A la prise en main, l'objectif assez lourd et j'ai trouvé la bague dure à tourner au départ. Après plusieurs mois d'utilisation, je ne sais pas si ça vient du fait que je m'y sois habituée mais j'ai l'impression que celle ci est un peu plus souple.
Fabelhaftes Objektiv - an APS-C für das Geld ein Pflichtkauf!
Zwischenzeitlich habe ich mein Sigma F2,8 EX DC OS HSM-Objektiv fast 2 Jahre und bin auch nach mehreren tausend Fotos jedes Mal auf's neue begeistert. Das Objektiv habe ich mir 2018 als Upgrade für eine D5300 gekauft. Mein Kitobjektiv habe ich, obwohl es als 18-105mm (F3,5-5,6) durchaus für einige Aufnahmesituationen besser geeignet wäre, seit dem Tag nicht wieder angefasst. Es hat mir einfach keinen Spaß mehr gemacht, weil es für 99% der Fälle die schlechtere Alternative gewesen wäre. Dafür ist das Sigma einfach zu gut.Inzwischen haben auch einige andere Objektive den Weg an meine Kamera gefunden und mit zunehmender Erfahrung habe ich auch einen etwas differenzierteren Blick auf die Optiken im Allgemeinen und auf das Sigma im Speziellen:Optimaler Brennweitenbereich für ein Standardzoom an APS-CAn Vollformat ist unbestritten das 24-70mm 2.8 das universellste Objektiv. Für viele professionelle Fotografen ist es DAS Arbeitstier. Mit 24-70mm kann man an Vollformat alles machen, auch wenn es für einzelne Anwendungsbereiche natürlich speziellere Objektive gibt, die besser geeignet sind. Für Sportfotografie und Wildlife ist es bspw. etwas zu kurz. Das geht mit einem längeren Tele in den meisten Situationen besser. Das 24-70mm 2.8 ist mehr der Generalist als der Spezialist.An APS-C sieht das aber aufgrund des Cropfaktors etwas anders aus. Ein 24-70mm 2.8, dass natürlich ebenfalls an APS-C (Faktor 1,5 bei Nikon) verwendet werden kann, funktioniert dort wie ein 36-105mm. Dadurch fehlt einiges an Weitwinkel, jedoch gewinnt man auch einiges an Tele dazu. Das ist kein schlechter Brennweitenbereich, jedoch für Aufnahmen in Innenräumen unter Umständen schon zu lang und eben nicht so universell wie 24-70mm an Vollformat. Um das 24-70mm an Vollformat für APS-C zu ersetzen bedarf es eine kleinere Brennweite wie bspw. das Sigma 17-50mm. Umgerechnet entspricht das einem Brennweitenbereich von 25,5-75mm und deckt damit den Brennweitenbereich eines Standardzooms an Vollformat vollständig ab. Dank der durchgängigen Blende 2.8 ist auch an APS-C das Freistellen gut möglich.Bildschärfe teilw. auf Niveau von FestbrennweitenJe nach Brennweite ist das Sigma geradezu unverschämt scharf. Es beginnt bei 17mm relativ weich, gewinnt aber durch Abblenden gut an Schärfe. Ab Blende 4 sind die Aufnahmen scharf, wobei der Rand bis Blende 8 hier noch zulegt. Die Schärfe der Mitte wird aber am Rand nie erreicht.Ab 24mm ist das Sigma offenblendig scharf. Hier gibt es im Zentrum nichts mehr auszusetzen. Der Rand gewinnt aber durch Abblenden weiterhin. Bei 35mm ist es bei Blende 2.8 sichtbar(!) schärfer als mein Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm 1:1,8G - das Nikon dann auf 2.8 abgeblendet versteht sich.LichtstärkeMit einer durchgängigen Blende von 2.8 erweitert es die fotografischen Möglichkeiten verglichen zu den lichtschwächeren Kitobjektiven gewaltig. Fotografieren bei wenig Licht und/oder das Freistellen von Objekten wird möglich, weswegen viele Situationen und Motive fotografisch deutlich besser behandelt werden können. Verglichen zu einem Standardzoom mit einer Blende von 3.5-5.6 sammelt das Sigma am kurzen Ende doppelt und am langen Ende vier mal soviel Licht ein. Das resultiert in dramatisch kürzeren Verschlusszeiten und einer dramatisch verringerten Tiefenschärfe, wodurch Objekte eben freigestellt werden.VerarbeitungMit einem Gewicht von 565g ist das Sigma deutlich schwerer als die kleine Kitlinse und wiegt immer noch mehr als das Nikon 18-140mm 3.5-5.6 Reisezoom. Die Verarbeitung ist tadellos, der Zoom ist griffig und hat einen angenehmen Widerstand. Die manuelle Fokussierung ist dagegen etwas leichtgängig und hat lediglich einen Weg von 60° vom einen zum anderen Ende. Das geht besser. Mein Exemplar hat auch nach zwei Jahren intensiver Nutzung keine Gebrauchsspuren oder sonstigen Alterungserscheinungen.Autofokus und OSMBeide Systeme funktionieren tadellos. Der Autofokus ist ausreichend schnell und treffsicher. Beim Fotografieren von sich bewegenden Zielen geht die Ausschußquote aber natürlich nach oben. Beide Systeme arbeiten nicht geräuschlos. Da ich nicht Filme, kann ich zu der Eignung dieses Objektives hierzu nichts sagen.Die KonkurrenzSchaut man etwas Rechts und Links bieten die folgenden Objektive ähnliche Eigenschaften:AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55 mm 1:2,8G IF-ED- verglichen mit dem Sigma geradezu unverschämt teuer (aktueller Neupreis EUR 1489,00)- laut DXOMARK sichtbar schlechtere AbbilungsleistungenTamron SP AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II LD Asphericalo mit ca. EUR 300 ungefähr das gleiche Preisniveau wie das Sigma- laut DXOMARK minimal schlechtere AbbildungsleitungenSigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC MACRO OS HSM C+ mit 70mm etwas länger als das Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 EX DC OS HSM Nikon+ größerer Abbildungsmaßstab- mit einem Preis ca. EUR 400 etwa EUR 100 teurer- laut DXOMARK sichtbar schlechtere Abbilungsleistungen- Lichtstärke ist am langen Ende nur wenig besser verglichen mit den Kitobjektiven und hat damit die gleichen fotografischen Einschränkungen wie eben diese.Mein Fazit nach zwei JahrenFür dieses Geld ist dieses Objektiv ein Pflichtkauf an APS-C. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis und die Bildschärfe sind phänomenal! Die fotografischen Möglichkeiten durch die hohe durchgehende Lichtstärke sind enorm und durch den Brennweitenbereich passt es an APS-C für viele Aufnahmesituationen. Klare Kaufempfehlung!
Awesome build quality!
Still waiting for my new camera body so I'm not able to test the features such as image quality and AF speed before I write this review. But I will just talk about the service I received from the seller and the build quality of the actual lens delivered to me.First, the shipping is amazingly fast! It took just seven days from the lens shipped from Japan to it was delivered to me in Canada (shipped two days after order placed), while Bolo gave an estimated delivery time of one and a half month! Great seller and shipping!So, here's the lens I received. The lens's is brand new and the box nicely wrapped with bubbles to protect it from damage. The box contains the user guide, warranty and the actual lens (with lens hood) contained in the sigma lens bag specially designed for this 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD lens. The lens looks nice and tough, although made of plastic. The outstanding gold ring, which is the symbol of Sigma EX class lens, gives it the feeling of professional, and the large front glass (77mm filter size) looks handsome as well. A good news of this lens is that Sigma has already changed its old skin-feel lens coating (complained to drop easily) to the new coating, and the problem that lens hood being too loose on some old versions of this lens has been fixed.Now comes to the rings and switches. The zoom ring is designed with a good feeling with smooth zooming operations. However, this does not mean that you can enjoy zooming with this lens: the zoom ring is relatively tight compared to original Canon lenses. Same thing appears on many other Sigma lenses. It is not a problem, but it does impact users' experience using this lens. So I will remove 2 marks out of 100 from here. Focus ring is fairly smooth when focusing manually, and is not so tight as zoom ring, which is good. The AF is driven by an HSM motor, which provide fast and quiet auto focusing. It is easy to see from the focus ring that it only covers less than 45 dgrees to focus from minimum distance to infinity. And as I said I don't have my new camera body here so I can't test whether it is quiet with auto focusing, but I guess it can be very fast. One thing that disappointed me is that although an HSM is installed, the lens doesn't employ full-time manual focusing, which means you can't turn the ring to change focus status while AF is on. I will take 5 marks from here. The lens has an AF-MF switch and an OS ON-OFF switch, and they work well. There's another switch beside the zoom ring, saying "lock" on it. In many other reviews it was called the "zooming lock", which I would disagree, because this switch can only be used at the 17mm point, and protect the inner tube of the lens from coming out when travelling. It cannot be locked at any other focal lengths, nor can it keep the lens in a fixed focal length when shooting, so personally I regard this switch as not quite necessary. 2 marks taken from here.One of the biggest issue that other reviewers talked about this lens is the cracking noise when you shake it. I guess that must be part of the Optical Stablizer. I don't think it's a big problem. Nobody shake the lens when shooting anyway. So I only take 2 marks here.Overall the lens results 89% in build quality, which still reaches a five-star. If you would like to know the image quality of this lens you can refer to other reviewers' writings, and I look to test it as soon as possible.
