This Sigma option is one of the most versatile and user-friendly options available. Introducing the Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4. The flexible zoom range, which delivers an equivalent 27.2-112mm range covers the common ground of scenery and people photos, which is why it is ideal for travel and everyday purposes. These are the exact subjects that most of us shoot on the regular. Throughout the range, a respectable maximum aperture is available, for the benefit of creating eye-catching pictures with varying depths of field, and for good low-light performance.
