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

Flam you have the canon 17-40 F4, this is the sigma 17-70 thread yo Funny stuff, Tony never said anything about the 17-40 Originally Posted by Geoff_Shawcross Just looked at your gear list and you have the Canon 17-40mm lens, not the Sigma 17-70mm lens. That's where the confusion lies.

If a few of you would have done that, you would have seen that I didn't realize that there was actually a new model out as it wasn't shown when I looked at the website......But that there was a link posted shortly after that and I said something like, "oops, my bad.....didn't see that they actually did have a new model."!!!

The original (f/2.8-4.5 non-OS) is a great lens. I had it at one time and it provided me with some excellent shots when I had a crop camera. I'm sure that the new version with OS and 1/3 faster aperture on the long end will be a nice improvement. Go out and shoot some photos!

I was already in a pissy mood from something else and I guess it was just the way you had worded it that kinda set me off. Lets just put the matter behind us shall we. Geoff | SmugMug

OS was something I had been wanting on it for a while for one. Geoff | SmugMug
