kissel Member  157 posts Joined Sep 2009 Location: Ukraine More info | Nov 13, 2009 16:53 | #2986 Depends on what you gonna take pictures of. I think in the dark environment Image Stabilization is more important, if you shoot interiors or landscapes. For people and other moving objects bigger aperture is a must. As an option (quite costly though) is Canon EF-S 17-55/2.8 IS USM. But cheap nifty-fifty (EF 50/1.8 ) along with EF-S 18-55IS might make an extremely cheap and surprisingly capable duet for your needs. Nikon D3 and stuff

Wow, those B&W 802D are gorgeous, so are the rotel, classe and Gem components. ╔═══════╗

"Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

That's where the confusion lies. Geoff | SmugMug

When I first looked at the Sigma website yesterday, I didn't see the new version listed with all the other lenses. That's why I thought there was a mix up.....hehe. Geoff | SmugMug

......I don't see a new 17-70 model anywhere on Sigma's home page. The only 17-70 lens they have (the same that I have), starts at f4.5 when at the 70mm end. Are you sure we're talking about the same thing here??
