After my extreme frustration with my 18-50mm Sigma DC macro zoom's performance, I'm happy to say this 17-70mm Sigma is an outstanding general purpose lens. Sharp and versatile, here its' macro mode at all focal lengths gave me the perfect field of view for this close up shot. Much of the glass was too dirty to shoot through, which meant when I found a spot that was clean and gave me a nicely composed shot I needed a lens that could focus that close and give me a field of view that was not too tight and not too wide - great lens.
