Like most zoom lenses, the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM is externally-zooming.
A standard zoom lens with relatively bright maximum aperture, the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM can be a key piece in a photographer's arsenal, though some may prefer prime lenses in this focal range. The lens is also stabilized, making it even easier to use for videos and stills alike.
