just because FF comes out doesn't mean you have to change to it, especially if the APS-C format serves you fine. :thumbsup:

anyway the tamron 17-50 is a good lens especially for your event use, but i got bored of it eventually. now it's with my brother who is enjoying it like i did at first.

Even you change to FF, there are someone out there still like or can only afford or only willing to pay for APSC, they can still use your Tamron 17-50 lens

I think many guys worried too much about investing in APSC lenses. C/N/S all have FF dSLR cameras, but some of their APSC lenses still selling at premium prices.

I agree, FF isn't the holy grail. After releasing the APSC-only 35/2, Nikon just released another APSC-only lens: 85/3.5 macro: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0910/09101401nikon85mmmacro.asp

Some might think Nikon is insane? But I guess Nikon knows better about the marketing than most of us users

used to be so easy choosing when almost have the cash.

sigma 17-70 f2.8-4.5
tamron 17-50 f2.8
pentax 16-45 f4
pentax 17-70 f4 sdm

all in range of each other. the sigma looks pretty good and to me the f4 is still pretty much okay. Any stores that happen to have all in stock? at this rate may take all the way till closing time to decide.

I used to have the Sigma 17-70 and I found it good and sharp when I had my K10D. Now using the k20D and the DA*16-50 and still mastering it.

No Compromise! Get f2.8! (if you have the budget of course)
1 stop difference means you shoot indoors at 1/15s or 1/30s.

1 stop difference means you shoot indoors at 1/15s or 1/30s.

It really depends on the prevailing lighting and what ISO you're shooting at. After all, the current crop of Pentax camera bodies all have Shake Reduction.
This shot was taken with the Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8~4.5 indoors, handheld with no flash.

K20D 1/25 sec at f/5, ISO 500
