>>256323 everyone should own a nifty 50 considering the cost and quality you get.
ah, ive owned both the canon 17-85 and the sigma 24-70. initially sold the 17-85 as i felt it was pretty much a kit lens with an extra 35 added on and an IS unit. bad distortion, its sooo slooooowwww and the image quality wasnt even any better than the kit lens... ah, the sigma 24-70. well, its built like a tank. the one i had was pre HSM so AF was wacky, and slow with its crappy motor and weird push/pull then switch for af/mf... dunno if thats changed? though it prob has with HSM. image quality wise, well when i sold it i wasnt happy with its IQ, but now looking back at pictures from it i should have been reasonably happy with it. its big and heavy, especially on a crop body. and also 24 isnt wide at all on said crop bodies... but again, 70 is nice. oh and i love/d having a fixed aperture and a reasonably fast zoom. also, the zoom ring goes the other way and like the canon 24-70 it extends at the wide end and contracts for the long end which takes awhile to get used too. especially with people(especially with girls) they all think your zooming in on their "bits" when you try get a full body shot lol!
so now i shoot with 3 primes and 1 zoom and im happy with that, each to his own though....
