After trying my friend tamron 17-50 VC and the sigma 17-50, i finally bite the dust and went for the Sigma instead, even if it cost 300+ more than the Tamron.

Ouverture said:Thats becos sigma is sharper at f2.8 on all focal length compared to the tamron.

On my case, it's the build issues Tamron have (read too much about this) that turns me to Sigma.why make you so confidence on Sigma EX lens?
No offence but isn't Sigma lenses problematic with their front/back focusing issues?
Tried the lens at DD electronics this afternoon, Tried on Focusing chart, AF focus is extremely fast and spot on. However, slight color fringing( green + purple) at 50mm 2.8, didn't bother to stop down. However the AF ring is quite a bother, the length of the barrel is about 9cm, so even with my small hands, I still accidentally touch the AF focus ring in a couple of shoots. So abit disappointed.
Picture quality, sharp, right out of the box.
Btw, 2 thumbs up for DD electronics for their great service and competitive pricing!

So you also gotten this lens in the end???
Nope. But would be placing an order for the more expensive Nikon 17-55mm. I guess, u pay for quality.
However wait for the Nikon Announcement this few weeks first to see "whats" the next DX lens then decide.
