[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 258582, member: 14443"] WOW, if I had a dx camera, I would toss my already tossed long time ago 17-55 AFS for the sigma. IQ is STELLAR even at 2.8 its just an amazing lens. and for $800, man thats a steal. the compromise is the zoom length of 2x. if you want IQ and fast AF thats what you have to give up. IQ vs convenience. me? always prefer IQ. the zoom also allows you the option in shooting in darker light because of the faster aperture. I hope (cmon baby fingers crossed) the 24-70 f/2 OS art can deliver, im tossing my nikon 28-70 AFS. I was even considering getting the sigma to use with my D600 in DX mode. 10mp though. shame. in your shoes, id toss both lenses and go for the sigma 18-35 and then find a used 70-210 f4 AF to cover the rest. it would easily best anything your current duo can do. your sensor can take advantage of the better optics in both lenses I mentioned. yes the 70-210 is old but sharp as hell.
