Review: An awesome entry level lens for APC-S cameras - I have been using this lens non-stop for the past 3 years for both photography and film making and I have to say for the price and performance it’s one of the best lenses to use for an APC-S camera body. I was so confident in my initial choice of the lens I bought two, which I use for different functions and it satisfied my needs during those times. Just so you are aware I use a D5500 body along with it, which is known for having 1.5 x crop factor. With that in mind here are the pros and cons. PROs: - It’s versatile as an all-round photography lens. The 17-50mm on APC-S is the focal equivalent to a 24-70 on a full frame camera. At 17mm It is awesome for landscapes/wide angle shots, whilst the 50 mm will behave quite like a 70mm prime for portraits. - Uses a 77mm thread for filter which is common for most fixed aperture lenses - Between the 35-50mm range the lens offers great bokeh for portraits. - Having a fixed f/2.8 aperture is brilliant for low light photography and filmmaking and it feels like you have multiple prime lens. It allows plenty of light onto the camera sensor to keep the ISO & shutter speed at low values. - The auto focus is fast and silent on the D5500 at all focal lengths, and the optical stabilisation is great for capturing sharp images that are stationary or moving. 6. Focusing is pretty accurate on wide to medium shots and is useful for manually focussing at infinity if landscape photos are your niche. 7. The addition of a lock mode is great to eliminate any breathing when in use or aiming down. 8. At f/4-5.6 the images and video produced is super sharp, which is where you should be working from most of the time. CONs: 1. The lens is a lot heavier and bulkier than other kit lens to compensate for the fixed aperture. 2. The build quality takes a hit due to price reducing. Some people might like the finish others won’t. 3. You can feel and hear the internal components move around if you shake the lens and the supplied lens hood can easily fall off. 4. The zoom and focus rings are arranged opposite to normal NIKON lens, which can be jarring to new users. 5. The manual focus range is extremely limited especially in close up shots, so be aware of the minimum distance you can rack focus to whether in manual or auto. 6. At f/2.8 on all focal lengths you can notice the image sharpness gets a bit soft and there is a subtle vignette at the lower focal length range. 7. The focal length zoom is an external rather than internally function which isn’t great for filming unless the camera is station at all times. Considering most people who are looking at this len probably are starting out with either/both the 18-55 Nikon kit lens and Tamron 70-300 VC, this of course is the natural progression to advancing your photography. Along with the NIKON 35 mm and 50mm prime lens this would be among my go to lens if I started again from scratch. As a film maker or vlogger, I will admit it might not tick all the boxes and that’s in part due to the negatives addressed. If you really are on a tight budget by all means go for it, but if you’re going to do it professionally I’d often recommend saving the money and getting the sigma art 18-35mm f1.8 and future proof the investment. Regardless of the negatives I still love this lens as it is overall a good purchase, it’s ideal for travel being an all-around lens and can produce truly stunning images with minor issue being fixable in post. I absolutely would recommend this.
Review: Expensive but I cannot fault it - I wanted a zoom lens to replace the 18-55 kit lens on my Nikon D5100. I also have the Nikon 35mm 1.8g, but in practice I tended to use the zoom lens more despite the lower image quality. I was looking for great image quality and sharpness with effective stabilisation. The wide constant aperture was a bonus rather than a necessity. This lens was recommended to me by a wedding photographer who chose it instead of a mega-expensive Nikon. I chewed over this for ages - I considered Tamron equivalent both without VC (cheap) and with (not as cheap but not as good?), also the bargain Nikon 50mm 1.8 for image quality. The Sigma is very expensive in absolute terms for an enthusiast like me, but in the end the reviews swayed me. I had some reservations about what I had heard regarding variations between samples, but I decided that I would test the lens extensively on arrival. If there were any shortcomings I would simply use desertcart's excellent return system until I found a good one. After the 30 day mark there would be Sigma's 3 year guarantee to fall back on. I am pleased to report that this has not been necessary - it's a good 'un. The lens arrived in great condition - it is solid and heavy and feels like a professional item should. In use the weight helps dampen vibrations and is a positive thing. It resembles my Sigma 10-20 EX in looks and feel. It takes good images! I have compared it in "blind" tests with my other 2 lenses at 35mm on a tripod. As expected the Sigma wins with the 35mm close behind. In particular the Sigma is much better than the 35mm at controlling CA. Although worthy, the kit lens is beaten hands down, especially towards the edges of the frame. The AF works very well, I tested this and found it was bang on - more accurate than my manual focussing skills. I would give this lens 5 stars if it was less expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for. This lens ticks all the boxes - great build and image quality so far, with stabilisation and useful zoom. I think however that if you can adapt to framing without zoom and have steady hands that a couple of Nikon prime lenses could do some of the job, possibly for less money. The Sigma gives good results at the 17mm end, which I find useful. I am very happy with this lens and would buy it again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: When I'm taking photos with this lens on my Nikon D5200 using the camera flash, a shadow of the lens is coming in the photos. Anyone else seeing this?**
A: That is entirely normal. Firstly Remove the lens hood (that won't help when shooting really wide angle), but from around 35-50mm you may be shadow free. 

I would suggest an accessory flash, this will get rid of shadows. The Nikon models are excellent but very expensive, 3rd party models are readily available and are excellent for beginners and enthusiasts especially, even older Nikon flash models like the SB-26 are superb but have no TTL with digital, only manual flash. 

It's worth getting the flash off the camera altogether when possible, for a more natural look..  via wireless triggers, cable or commander mode (available with D7000 series and up).

**Q: Will this Auto Focus on a Nikon D3200, or will it have to be used in Manual Focus?**
A: It will auto focus and meter on any DX cameras. I would caution the owners of more compact DSLR's (like the D3200),  that the Sigma is a wide, heavy lens and it may be uncomfortable to shoot with on these cameras. It's perhaps even too large for comfortable use on the D7000 series cameras, without using a battery grip.

**Q: Can I use this lens on a Nikon D600? xx**
A: Yes but it is designed for DX cameras and will not cover the full frame. I bought mine thinking I was sticking with DX but then bought a full frame camera only two weeks later. It was great in crop mode but obviously at much reduced 10.8 mega pixels. It would not even cover the intermediate 30X20mm setting that my full frame camera has. Great lens but you are probably better off going for a full frame lens. Sigma designates theirs as DG lenses as opposed to DC in the name of this lens - seems a bit too similar to me - easy to confuse a G and a C.Tim.

**Q: Can I use this lens with my Nikon D80 ?**
A: I have found this to be a very capable lens and good value for money. I use it with My Nikon D300 cameras and should see no problems with the D80.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Snags compared to Nikon original lenses
*by S***T on 10 April 2019*

Great lens BUT I found some snags I was not expecting. I use this lens on a Nikon D7200 I love... Sharper than anything comparable I could find (see DXO Labs tests for info). Needle sharp at f3.3 wide angle and f2.8 zoom. Good light transmission makes it great for low light photos. Great value compared to Nikon. Sharpish at f11 so okay for landscapes. Not so keen... Can't switch from auto to manual focus durunh a shot without first switching on manual. If hand accidentally touches focus ring then it hinders auto focusing. Zoom ring works opposite way to Nikon lenses which feels odd. Flare can be a slight problem, more so than with Nikon originals where I find a lens hood unnecessary. Focus tracking of a person walking or running towards the camera works amazingly accurately with Nikon lenses but not with this lens. Perhaps the focus motor is too slow. In bright sunlit high contrast scenes with this lens the camera over exposes by about half to one stop which burns out highlights. That does not happen with original lenses. Overall, I am a tad disappointed but still rate it a great lens for the money. One last thought, the lense I received was a grey import with a 1 year warranty instead of the 3 years Sigma UK offer.
