Sigma 17-50 2.8 Review 

Sigma have a tighter click than Canon and Nikon. You need to force the twist otherwise it's not locked properly.

@mindajudge All of gregs videos are still live and you can subscribe to his channel as well as follow his blog. Its great to have multiple places to get different opinions on photography.

@JaredPolin which lens would you recommend for using beside the Nikkor 35mm 2.0 on a 2nd camera? I have only the 35mm and a 50mm and I'd like to have zoom lens. Not sure which one makes similar looking videos

I just got this lens for my D7100, I've had it for 2 weeks. Its a GREAT lens for "$800" or $400 on ebay; which I did. I've got 7 other lens, 5 nikons 2 sigmas. Most over $700. This is my fav lens!!! Buy this! Great day-out / travel lens.

@brandonbush1 thanks for pointing that out, I forgot that that lens did not have the nano coating.

is there any difference in quality between this one and the Nikkor 35mm 2.0 (which I use in the moment). In need another lens for my d7000. I use it 95% for videos in a studio

Hi Jared, i can explain the fall off at the Edges. The Sigma is not perfectly planar corrected. That means the Focus area is not a plain but an orb. Objects that have the same Distance to the Camera are sharp. A plain surface like the table becomes soft at the Edges because the Distance to the Camera is longer an the area out of focus. This effect becomes weaker at the long end. So at 17mm with shallow depth of field you can get everything into focus by positioning it in a bow.

@corpsemunger you may need to manually set your meter but as long as its the same mount it should work.

@TheVisualised Hey there, everything is fine with the other hoods i tried on other lenses.

Apparently... the lens hood issue has been fixed by December 2018. I just bought (I feel like I stole) it for $285 new this month from B&H. On my D3300... that I seem to not feel the need to upgrade from... the colors and sharpness from the kit lens it replaces are noticed by even non photographers. This is a keeper for sure. I don't think I'll ever "upgrade" to full frame. For a crop sensor lens... it doesn't get much better than this. Very highly recommended for the enthusiast / hobby photographer. If I work with it a little bit, I (as a guy that use to shoot film and dabble in the darkroom) can get some fantastic shots of stuff no one else cares about. I won't get rid of it... even if I upgrade to the D7200 (now OOP) ... that is the plan. Happy shooting!

@KingTrigger999 I export mine as jpegs which are much smaller than the tiff files.

@abybryan the 2.8

@2isTheNew1 il try and get my hands on it.

Can you review Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC MACRO OS HSM C Canon?

@29erfast yes thats right sorry used the wrong word.

I've got the older 18-50mm non HSM version of this lens and i love it. The difference between it and the kit lens is remarkable, and being able to shoot at f/2.8 is a life saver at gigs.

i got this lens for my canon t5i.. its a good lens/sharp as my 50mm f1.8 and i don't have to worry about haze when shooting with this lens

I’ve seen so many reviews on this lens, and this one just convinced me to purchase this lens !

@ChefWannabeToo hey, i didnt say it was better i said i liked it for the price better because it was so much less.

@TazakaLOL sorry and pentax mounts as well.
