My 20D finally gave up, so I purchased a new 80D. I am considering the Sigma 17-50 2.8 to accompany the 80D. I have been wanting this lens for a long time and have researched it pretty thoroughly. I figured I would ask the forum before making the order:

Has anyone owning this combination experienced any problems?

Thanks for any input, it looks like the lower price (B&H) ends tonight (12/11).

I had one when I owned my 7D. I thought it was great. Faster and sharper than my ef24-105L.

I've been using this lens as my standard in combo with the 60D for five years. Now I am on the 80D for three months. Happy & no problems at all.

The POTN database shows a number of images shot with the 80D/Sigma 17-50mm - some 3 or so from me. - See this link:
