Revuetar 50mm f/2.8 Auto (3)

Great speed, perfect condition Just wow

Great value with wonderful performance and image quality (correction write up should say 17-50 not 55) Review written May 24, 2016. Camera used on Nikon D7000. Professional photographer (Weddings, Studio/Location Portraits) Needed for low light environments such as Churches, reception halls and locations which prohibit flash. Headshot capability to separate subject from the background. Primarily prefer prime lens but needed the zoom capability. Normally shoot with a full frame and Crop sensor (Nikon DX) cameras. We are 100 % sure we will always have DX cameras so decided to buy dedicated professional lenses to give us close focal lengths to the full frames lenses so we bought Sigma 17-55 OS version and the Sigma 50-150 non OS to reduce weight. The Sigma 17-55 is a wonderfully sharpe and fast lens (we don't shoot sports) With OS on its great. No need to have it on all the time. Images are sharpe and clear with very accurate color in both JPEG and Raw (will need to tweak the raw if you use Lightroom or non Nikon software). We still use the white balance card and color checker passport in our workflow. Images are as good or slightly less than my primes but you get the zoom capability. Would recommend to any professional who has decided to stick with Crop Sensor cameras in your tool box. For pleasure shooting of landscapes etc it's great and can be used as all day walk around lens if you only wanted to take one lens. Enthusiast will see the quality of there pictures take a leap if they are already doing everything else right. This lens will take you to another level.Read full review

Sigma 17-50,my thoughts I would say it to be a good lens for the money. Not as sharp as I had hoped however better than what you get from a kit lens. All in all until I can afford a pro quality lens I feel this lens will satisfy most ammeter photo enthusiast.
