Can anyone tell me if the Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4.5 DC Macro is compatible with a 1D MK2? If so anyone got any samples at 17mm or there abouts? :D

Thanks, Kev

It will physically mount on it, but the image circle is too small, so you will get a vignetting effect around the edges.

I know on my previous Tokina 12-24, it vignetted till about 16mm. Not sure how much it will on your camera.

You'll probably lose 17-20mm, at the very least.

Oh well! Will just have to wait and get a 17-40 L by the looks of it. Thanks for your replies.:D

At least you have a great reason to not be able to use the 17-70 (actually I don't lust after the 1 series bodies so much - they're very bulky and heavy - though I wouldn't mind a 5D!)
