Sigma 17–70mm f/2.8–4 DC Macro OS HSM Contemporary Lens – Canon EF Mount DSLR Cameras
Versatile stabilized standard zoom for travel, portraits, landscapes, street photography and close-up work
This Sigma Contemporary-series lens is designed as an upgraded everyday zoom for Canon APS-C DSLR cameras. Its 17–70mm focal range covers wide-angle scenes through short telephoto portraits, while the variable f/2.8–4 aperture provides stronger low-light capability than many standard kit lenses. Optical Stabilization, HSM autofocus, and useful close-focusing performance make it a practical single-lens option for travel, events, family photography, and general creative use.
