Review: Brilliant lens - Best lens I have purchased. Excellent quality bokeh, used it for shooting candid portraits at an event, I took other lenses just I case, but didn't need to swap it once. Great purchase, it probably going to be my most used lens. Buy now
Review: Great in Principle, Disappointing Optical Quality - First the good, having the additional reach above a normal 17-50mm Lens is a real bonus in this lens while still being LIghtweight and compact. This lens is beautifully made, I loved the kind of matt feel of the lens hood. It feels verys solid indeed. I have to admit to being disappointed with this lens optically - every picture I took with it was soft. Compared to the Tamron 18-270 which should in theory be a more compromised lens - I was always using the tamron as I knew I would get sharper results. I tried several different appertures and focal lengths but was never really happy with the results, so returned the lens and replaced it with the (much more expensive Sigma 17-50mm f2.8). Well I can confirm you get what you pay for - the results are sooo much better. I miss the extra 20mm but whats the point if you hesitate to use it. I hope I just had a bad example based on other reviews. As always desertcart great with accepting Genuine returns.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be a decent replacement for my Canon T2i 18-55 kit lens or should I just keep saving? I shoot landscapes and small venue concerts mostly.**
A: It's a good lens for my needs. I have found the 18-300mm type lenses just don't do all that well, I think too much range to cover but this does well and being a f/2.8 it's better for darker shots. Heavier than a kit lens but worth it in my opinion.

**Q: Is this a good lens for product photography, for a depth of about 12 inches? I'm having a hard time getting sharp images of my labels.   Thank you**
A: Yes, the macro function is excellent. Pay attention to the depth of field and you won’t be disappointed.

**Q: Is this still good lens? Is there a big difference between this and the C model? Will this replace my d7000 18-55mm lens?**
A: I used the lens almost the entire time I shot dx. It did a wonderful job for me and gave me countless well loved images. It is supposedly better wide than the C version but the C is reportedly better at the long end. I must have had a good copy because I had no complaints with its performance at 70mm.

**Q: How is this lens for video?**
A: Has optical stabilization

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ When to stop playing lens tennis...
*by D***N on 15 August 2012*

I recently got my first Nikon DSLR - a D3200. The kit lens is okay but not really. So I was looking for something better in that range. I tried a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 which was quickly returned as a right softy. Next, I gave a Nikon 16-85mm f3.5-5.6 ED VR a go and again was surprised at how soft and uneven it was - not far above the kit lens. I looked at the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 but thought there's not much in the reviews between it and the 17-70mm f2.8-4.0 except price-wise it was about £200 more expensive. So, I gave the 17-70 a try. My copy performs well at 17 F2.8 with corners not too bad. It does well wide with corners improving quickly until 70mm when it needs f5.6 to be usable in the centre. Overall not bad. The decent optical ability with its excellent build-quality, macro, OS and HSM is a good balance at a good price. Provided you can get a good copy, it is a great lens. I do not think I'd get much more from their 17-50 f2.8 and indeed might get less in trying to get a good copy. I decided to stop playing lens tennis for now. My next game will be in a few months' time when I want something longer.
