Hi,
I am going to replace my Sigma 17-70 DC macro f2.8-f4.5
I was at Comic Con recently and my sigma lens was struggling in the very poor low light. My camera is Canon EOS 7D Mk1.
I was at the lenses widest focal length 17mm and the aperture should have been at f2.8. However it will not go below f4 so there is a problem with the electronics. I have phoned sigma who have verbal indicated that it could be circuitry issue !
The repair would cost £100 which is steep as this lens I have had for 7-9 years apx and I have taken it all over the world with me. Sigma offered a deal were I can effectively trade in the lens for the new lend for £270. Which I think is a pretty good deal !
My question is for the price of £270 ish what can I get that is better than the 17-70 DC macro f2.8-f4.5 OS HSM Contemporary lens ! ?
Many thanks
