Review: Sigma's 17-70mm Macro lens for DSLR videographers

Sigma's 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM lens is a versatile, affordable lens for anyone interested in shooting DSLR video. This review is for the original version of the Sigma lens, which you can still buy: http://amzn.to/2kAldiD

There's also a newer version that's getting decent reviews: http://amzn.to/2kAphQ9

If you can live without the constant aperture feature offered by similar lenses, such as Canon's EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8, you can save quite a bit of money and still get some cool features that the more expensive lenses don't offer.

Thanks for visiting and feel free to ask any questions.
