I've seen a number of good reviews of the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM.
It's reasonably priced and seems like a good replacement for the Canon 18-55mm STM on my new Canon 80D.
Does anyone have any comments based on personal experience?

I did own one that was acquired when I first got my 60D (2011?). It was a great lens but when I also acquired an 80D a few years ago, I moved to the 17-70 ART with the dock so I could tweak the lens to match both bodies. Although not as fast I can use a bit higher ISO to make up the difference when needed and I got a bit more reach which I find useful.

I have to say that Adorama has a rather attractive price on the 17-50. See https://www.adorama.com/sg1750eosk.html

Don’t buy the extra warranty becuase, as you may know, the Sigma warranty for non-gry market lenses in 4 years.I will probably be buying one, but not until after Christmas.

Dec 16, 2019 07:54 | #9 I got the lens yesterday. It looks good, but it was too cold out and I was too sick to do much more than make sure it autofocused and captured an image.
