very versatile for all of my photo needs

Sigma
17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM Lens for Nikon Mount Digital SLR Cameras
(SG1770OSNA)
Pros: Easily Interchangeable, Rugged, Durable, Fast / accurate auto-focus, Nice Bokeh, Consistent Output, Strong Construction
Cons: Heavy
Other Comments: My 17-70 is mounted to a D7000 Nikon. I use the camera in an underwater housing where I typically shoot fish and some natural foliage scenes. I like the versatility to move quickly from macro to wide angle with the same lens (cause you can't changes lenses underwater). It is my 'go-to' lens for dive/photography. I also use it for landscape work and again find it to be the most versatile lens in my kit.
Yes, I recommend this product

17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM Lens for Canon EOS Mount DSLR Lens Kit Bundle
(E6SG1770OSEOS)
Pros: Easy transition, Step Up From Kit Lens, Quality pictures, quality lens
Cons: heavier weight, Large Lens, Video Slr Mode Struggle
Other Comments: It's a great package, the only unexpected disappointment was how poorly the lens functions on the video mode of the canon T1i. Without an extreme amount of light the video quality is very dark and low.
Yes, I recommend this product

Best bang for buck walkaround lens

Sigma
17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM Lens for Canon Mount Digital SLR Cameras
(SG1770OSEOS)
Pros: Fast / accurate auto-focus, Strong Construction, Consistent Output
Cons:
Other Comments: I bought this for a Canon T3i body I purchased. I really like this lens as it checks all the boxes. It has a lens range that can cover the vast majority of casual picture taking, it is brighter than a typical kit lens and can be used in low light, it's not too heavy and small enough to fit in a bag made for the camera with the standard kit lens. It's definitely bigger and heavier than the kit lens, but it's wider, longer, and brighter and ultimately is a great price for what you get. I have no regrets as I get great pictures with it.
Yes, I recommend this product

17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM Lens for Nikon Mount DSLR - Pro Lens Kit
(E5SG1770OSNA)
Pros:
Cons:
Other Comments: As my primary lens is better than Nikkor 18mm 105mm or 18mm 135mm, night shots excellent low low low noise and no hot pixels or white and red dots. On macro the lens is excellent and better w/M focus. Excellent quality material,
Things that aren't so great about it, the lens bayonet should cover the camera bayonet or put a big O ring like I did
Yes, I recommend this product

Pros: Strong Construction, Durable, Easily Interchangeable, Consistent Output
Cons:
Other Comments: Have yet to really use the lens a great deal but I am comfortable with it in a number of test shots I have done with it. It has a very solid feel to it.
Best of all was the price. This is the fourth Sigma
lens I have purchased and am very happy with all of them.

Another GREAT lens from Sigma

Sigma
17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM Lens for Nikon Mount Digital SLR Cameras
(SG1770OSNA)
Pros: Strong Construction, Lightweight, Easily Interchangeable, Durable, Fast / accurate auto-focus, Consistent Output
Cons: Shortens battery life, Lens motor always on
Other Comments: This lens provides an excellent range for a variety of uses. From landscapes to portraits to marco with this f-stop range it is unbeatable. PLUS, you get Optical Stabilization! Of course the best part is the affordable price.
I will have to check with Sigma to find out if it is normal for the motor to stay on even if the OS is switched off. The extra battery draw is not noticeable yet, but, I haven't used it all day yet. So far, I've only use it around the house. That's my baseline. I can compare pictures of the same subjects with my other lenses. With the Sigma 18-200mm OS and Sigma 70-300 with macro non-OS, I can cover everything I need. ...at least for now.
Yes, I recommend this product
