I've searching for an upgrade from my Nikon's D7000 kit 18mm-105mm, and I've finally decided to go for the Sigma's 17-70mm f2.8-4 Contemporary version.
All the reviews about it are either good or great, but then from what I heard is that Sigma's Optical Stabilizer drains your camera battery like mad! So for any Sigma 17-70 users or any Sigma user that has OS attached, did it happen to you? |

If you want to preserve battery you can always switch it off. But since you have used the Nikon kit lens which has VR (image stabilizer), so I don't think you'll see that big a difference. Ah I see, but still take a look from other users, just for more info http://www.flickr.com/groups/sigma17-70os/...57628468799387/ It seems that Sigma's OS has troubled some users, very weird. So that's why I opened this thread to hear it from our "kakilang" users |
