[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 648013, member: 43924"] Jim, You must have had a particularly great copy. I also had a 17-55 DX for a while and thought it ok but certainly not stellar, plus I saw a number of reviews that gave Sigma's competitive products, in particular the 17-70, significantly higher credit for IQ. In fact, in my favorite photo magazine's lab testing (Germany's ColorFoto; you may have seen me raving about it before), they earned 52.5 points (Nikon 17-55 DX) respectively 65 points (Sigma 17-70). The ONLY Nikon DX zoom lenses ever to receive an above-average overall score in those tests, which are scarce since test averages are calculated across zooms and primes, are the new AF-P 70-300 DX (64 points) and the also-fairly-recent 55-200 DX VR II (68 points; I own that one and am happy with it). (All tested on D7100.) Maybe I should have added "Nikon seems intent on catching up on DX." ;) [/QUOTE]
