1 out of 5 stars   Great Bundle, Bad Lens
By Mike on May 14, 2014
Review submitted for Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD Standard Zoom Canon EOS DSLR Lens 9pc Kit (E6SG1750SEOS)
Pros: The bundle came with a great little cleaning kit and a bunch of other useful things for the same price I've seen just the lens go for. I loved that they included a UV filter to protect the lense.
Cons: The bag was cheap and not well padded but good enough to store non-fragile things in. The tripod is cheap and really only good for a lightwieght point and shoot at best. This lens is incredibly soft. I've got Sigma's 24-70 2.8 and love it! I was hoping for the same performance from this lens. Sadly I'm struggling to fing it's "sweet spot". I'm unable to get sharp images at any focal length. The softness is throughout the entire image not just the edges. I've actually resorted back to a kit 18-55mm for my wide angle until I can save up for a stronger wide probably from Canon.
Other Comments: While I've been impressed with a lot of the Sigma products lately the 17-50 has left me disappointed. The bundle is a great deal but I wouldn't recommend this lens at all.

4 out of 5 stars   Decent Kit
By CDTphoto on March 19, 2014
Review submitted for Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD Standard Zoom Canon EOS DSLR Lens 9pc Kit (E6SG1750SEOS)
Pros: Everything came packaged nicely. Package was on time. Nothing was missing.
Cons: Quality of extra items are not as I thought. Some of the items are useless and should be replaced to make the package.
Other Comments: Overall not a bad kit I found only the cleaning items and the UV filter to be useful. The filter is cheap but it does the job. I haven't had any problems with it yet. The blower has a rubber smell, but it doesn't bother me too much. The bag is too limited but I guess you can work with it. Can't really complain because they were free. The lens is good so far. I haven't had any problems yet. At least nothing particularly noticeable.

Pros: Great sharpness Great focus Quiet focus
Cons: Bokeh is a little busy
Other Comments: I had two copies of the tamron version and just didn't like it. Was only sharp around f 3.5. This sigma is sharp wide open - which is why you buy it in the first place

2 out of 5 stars   Do not buy this this lens!
By iluv2fly on May 27, 2012
Review submitted for Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD Zoom Lens for Nikon DSLR Camera - Pro Lens Kit (E5SG1750SNA)
Pros: Quiet Focus Motor, Sharp at 50mm, Build Quality
Cons: Very Soft at 17mm
Other Comments: I can not recommend this lens! It is sharp at 50mm but when you go wide (17mm) it is extremely soft! If you don't believe me just research the web. Most independent reviews says the same thing. I didn't listen and thought that they were all super picky but I regret buying this lens! I have tried to figure this lens out for two weeks... I will return it!

2 out of 5 stars   Returned Lens - Not professional enough
By Taina35 on August 25, 2011

Review submitted for Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital DSLR Camera (SG1750SNA)
Pros:
Cons: Heavy, Colors were not vibrant, Not as sharp as expected
Other Comments: I was expecting more from this lens. Ended up returning it and getting the Nikon 50mm 1.8G which I am very happy with so far. The 17-50mm did not produce vibrant colors or focus as sharp as I was expecting it to for the price. It was nice for wide angle photos but didn't like the quality it produced.
