Llevo usando varios meses y aquí te digo los beneficios de este grandioso lente: 1. Gran distancia focal, puedes tomar fotos en gran angular (paisajes y fotos grupales) y fotos retratos y detalles (modelos, decoraciones) 2. Puedes hacer retratos con un lindo bokeh 3. Enfoca muy rápido 4.

For shooting video this is my go to lens. I use it for probably 80% of the stuff that I shoot. The Tamron equivalent is also optically nice but the build quality doesn't feel nearly as sturdy/smooth as the Sigma and as I'm shooting video on Canon bodies the fact that the Tamron is backwards is a big...

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Consistent Output; Durable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Nice Bokeh; Strong Construction

Piqué superlatif pour ce sigma et surtout dès la pleine ouverture; le centre est exceptionnel, les angles très bons (il faut visionner à 100% pour distinguer la différence entre les angles et le centre). Avec un Canon 60D, les clichés à 2.8 en basse lumière sont étonnants de précision.

This Sigma lens, which can only be used on DX bodies, is a very versatile lens with few drawbacks.

The best sub-$700 stabilized f/2.8 midrange zoom

No full time manual focus

I bought my Canon EOS 7D as a body-only, eschewing the standard kit lens for my own collection of glass. For a long time, the lens that was almost permanently glued to the camera was a 35mm f/2 prime, with a 28-300mm as a typical walkabout alternative.

Word of warning - my lens was purchased from Amazon UK, unfortunately the serial number is not an official UK import so it does not qualify for a UK warranty according to Sigma, sadly l have had to return it for a refund, a shame as it's a great little lens - very happy with the photos taken.

The lens is Awesome, it was delivered on time. The service was great. Its always good to talk to someone on the phone, discuss the product and then buy it.

For those who are looking for a pro lens at wide angle zone, this lens fits the bill perfectly. I have a T1i and was looking fr a good upgrade from my kit lens. The other options are Canon 17-55 and Tamron 17-50.

Picked up one of these used on eBay. It's a crap shoot when you buy a used lens, especially a third party brand, but Sigma has a good reputation, and online reviews of this model are very decent. Price is steep for a third-party lens, but picture quality is very good, especially between 28 and 50mm.
