FS: Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM Lens (Nikon Mount)

[Braineack]

I upgraded my body to FF so I have the pleasure of parting with the DX components that aren't compatible.

I purchased this lens in June with the sole purpose of having one single lens to take on vacation with me in place of the kit lens. I liked it so much I kept it and sold off the kit 18-55 lens. Here's a gallery of shots from that vacation with my D3100. This lens was a downward spiral for me and really got me more serious about photography.

It works well as a macro lens too, going to 1:2.8 at 70mm. Here's a shot I took with it of a spider on a flower in my front yard:

I've taken some great shots with the lens and I'm actually sad to see it go; I'd keep it if I could shoot in FX mode with it. It makes a great replacement for the kit lens, the extra reach is nice, but being able to shoot at f2.8 at 17mm and f/4 at 70mm makes it great in low-light situations and helps produce some decent bokeh & bg blur.

I'm asking $325 shipped.
