I am literally on my way to Jessops now, and I intend on leaving the store with one of the above lenses.
I had been 100% set on getting the 15-85 Canon lens, but having read a few reviews of the 17-70 this morning it has left me feeling 50/50 about it.
The Sigma seems to get very good reviews, and is around £300 cheaper... and also has the aperture advantage of going from 2.8-4 vs the Canon's 3.5-5.6
I am only looking at the OS HSM version of the Sigma lens, not the earlier non OS version.
Can anyone help me in my decision?
This will be used as a general walk about lens, used in combination with a 50mm prime, 100mm prime and 55-250 Canon IS zoom, but I imagine the lens I buy today will be on my 40D for 90% of the time.
I take very varied pictures - indoors and outdoors, landscapes and portraits, and often low lit situations (night time pics).
Please advise me!
Cheers
