This fast lens covers full-frame sensors and includes a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), a floating internal focusing system, and SLD and FLD glass elements, which help correct both axial and chromatic aberration. In all, the lens is constructed of 13 elements in 11 groups and has a 9-bladed diaphragm. The HSM delivers quiet, high-speed autofocusing while the floating focusing system allows for superior optical performance with subjects at a closer shooting distance (minimum focus: 30cm, 11.8”) The large f/1.4 maximum aperture makes it ideal in low light and the lens is compatible with SIGMA USB DOCK and SIGMA Optimization Pro software to adjust and fine tune focusing parameters. Many avid photographers will definitely prefer this 35mm lens to the more conventional 50mm. Using a cutting-edge design and state-of-the-art production technology, we've honed its performance to the point where it can do full justice to the expressive power of the very latest digital cameras. This wide angle lens with a large aperture F1.4 can achieve the highest level of brightness with an attractive blur for wide angle images. The fast F1.4 aperture enables one to capture unique pictures in a variety of scenes, such as evening views and indoor handheld portraits.

Available in a wide variety of APS-C camera model mounts, the Sigma 17-70mm delivers a very useful zoom range of 25.5-105mm (equivalent), plus has close-focusing capability of 22cm. The incorporation of a smaller OS unit (in those lenses for cameras without built-in stabilization) makes for a more compact design (79 x 82mm, 3.1 x 3.2”.) The lens is constructed with 16 elements in 14 groups and contains 2 FLD, 1 SLD and 3 aspherical glass elements for enhanced image quality. A 7-blade diaphragm, Hyper-Sonic Motor, brass made bayonet mount, and SIGMA USB DOCK for firmware updates round out the impressive specifications.
