I’m in the market for an f2.8 standard zoom and was disappointed that Sigma still hadn’t released a Sony version of this lens. Well that has finally changed. Sigma has announced the OS (Optical Stabilization) version of its 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro lens will be available soon in Sony and Pentax mounts. Currently available only in Canon, Nikon and Sigma mounts, the Sony version will start shipping from February 27, 2010. If you’re a Pentax DSLR user, they expect the Pentax mount version to be available March 19, 2010.
• DC lenses are designed for digital SLR cameras with APS-C size chips
• Large 4x zoom range gives this lens an equivalent range of 27-112mm when used with a Nikon digital SLR camera
• Optical Stabilization (OS), anti-shake technology allows use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible, without motion blur
• Fast f/2.8-4 aperture makes this lens perfect for low light
• With a minimum focus distance of 8.7" along with the maximum magnification of 1:2.7 the lens is perfect for close-up photography
• Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) ensures a quiet and high-speed auto focus
