This digital-only lens boasts excellent performance, Optical Stabilisation and a rock bottom price tag - so is there anything not to like?

Great all-round lens

Non-internal focusing

This lens exceeds my expectations (based on reviews that I read online) on all aspect, it is both fast and sharp. the provided lens hood is also a bonus. quite heavy though but that should be fine because you'll be getting higher quality photos compared to any standard kit lenses (I was using...

The wide F2.8 aperture and image stabilisation has has allowed me to do some no-flash indoor work without using a tripod.

I bought this lens as a replacement to a Nikon 17-55 F 2.8 damaged irreparably; so consider myself very critical. Features Its a moderately fast 17-70 F2.8 – F4 Variable aperture DX or APS Zoom with Image Stabilisation (OS) and good close focusing ability.

Versatile and useful Zoom Range 17-70; Image stabilization; Fast at wide angle; Smooth bokeh; Close focus

Annoying Manual Focus switch; A touch soft at wide apertures; No weather sealing

This is very sharp with great colors and contrast lens. Super bokeh. Little bit noisy and not fast but image quality simply superb starting from F2.8.

Flipkart, as usual, delivered it before the delivery date. So I am a happy customer. I am now using the lens for many days now. It feels sturdy. It is sharp throughout the focal length and aperture wide open. It doesn't lose contrast even on heavily backlit scene.

This excellent lens has been used for portrait work and landscapes. I love the quick focus and feel of quality that it just oozes and I cannot find any fault in it. I would buy again and would certainly recommend it.
