About this lens

The Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC Macro is a compact APS-C standard zoom, notable for its bright f/2.8 aperture at the wide end and close-focus macro capability. A step up from a plain 18-55 kit lens in both speed and range - designed for Canon EF-S APS-C DSLRs.

Build & handling

Works with

• Canon EF-S APS-C DSLRs (Rebel series, 7D, 80D, 90D, etc.)
• Not designed for Canon EF full-frame DSLRs (DC is APS-C only)
• Canon RF APS-C mirrorless (R7, R10, R50) via EF-EOS R adapter

Best for

A general-purpose APS-C standard zoom with a brighter aperture and better close-focus than a typical 18-55 kit. The 'Macro' in the name refers to its close-focus capability (up to 1:2.7 reproduction) rather than true 1:1 macro. DC means APS-C only - not full-frame compatible.

Frequently asked questions

Is it true 1:1 macro?

No - approximately 1:2.7 reproduction. Useful for close-up work but not life-size. For true 1:1 macro, consider the Tamron SP 60mm f/2 Di II Macro or Canon's EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro.

Will it work on a Canon full-frame DSLR like the 5D?

Not fully. Sigma DC lenses are designed for APS-C coverage - on a full-frame body you'll get heavy vignetting.

Will it work on Canon RF mirrorless bodies?

No. Canon EF-S lenses do not mount on RF mirrorless bodies. Consider an RF-S lens (for APS-C RF bodies) or a full-frame EF lens with the EF-EOS R adapter instead.
