[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 636772, member: 43924"] Hi Chip, I have owned the Nikon 18-55, Sigma 17-50 and Sigma 17-70, the latter being my current favorite as it combines light weight with very good IQ. A few test results might help: ColorFoto, a German magazine I like for their comprehensive and credible testing, gave the Sigma 17-70 the highest score by far of these three, a 65. Of the others you are eyeing, the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art is the ONLY one scoring higher, at 67.5, though personally I find its zoom range too narrow, even though I would love the wide aperture. They did not test the Tamron 24-70 G2 yet (that will likely happen in the upcoming issue). The previous version got a 61. (All tested on D7100 to ensure comparability.) [/QUOTE]
