The sigma is ok for a cheap lens but it outperforms the kit lens quite a bit. however its not as wide as the kit on the low end. Ill just tell you that im now kicking myself now for not spending the 120 i spent on the siggy towards a 17-40L. Bottom line is you get what you pay for. 1DsMII • 70-200L f2.8IS • 24-70L • 17-40L • 50 f1.4
