The 17-70mm F2.8-4 Macro DC HSM OS is compatible with the Sigma USB dock for an increased level of customization.
I bought this as a gift for my partner as an upgrade to the kit lens that came with her Nikon D5500 and she is very impressed.
I have to compare this to the older-but-still-available Sigma 17-50 EX 2.8, because everyone does and its inevitable. The construction of the 17-70mm includes new TSC material (Thermally Stable Composite), which allows for increased durability as well a reduction in size by 30% compared to conventional models. So you can rest assured that it’s something we know extensively and care deeply about. Since 1961, and with the recent introduction of Sigma Global Vision, we have worked toward one single, simple goal: To hold ourselves to the highest standard of design & manufacturing of imaging products.
It's super sharp when you set the aperture narrower than f/8 and the 70mm of focal lenght really can come in handy.

Nitidezza sorprendente. When a crop type lens is attached on a FX camera the capturing area get reduced automatically (most recent fx dslrs) resulting smaller area images which is not recommended.
Although the kit lens was good, the Sigma is significantly clearer, with the pictures showing much more detail - especially in the distance of landscape shots where the kit lens struggled a bit. Overall very pleased, ok it doesn't have quite the focal range..but the pictures I have taken are clear and sharp with vivid colours.
You can return the item for any reason in new and unused condition: no shipping charges
With a great focal length and macro capability, the 17-70mm F2.8-4 is also equipped with a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) and an Optical Stabilizer (OS) for superior image quality.

The only con however, which in my opinion isn't such a problem, is how it drains the camera's battery faster than any Nikon lens since unlike them, the autofocus engine keeps running for a minute long after the last, time you presa the shutter halfway down to focus.
