Hi guys!
Well i had a Sigma 18-50/2.8 but had some focusing issues with that lens on my 350XT. I wasnt to happy with anything really.. focusing issues and unsharp photos.
Anyways.. i have ordered a 30D and together with that camera comes the Sigma 17-70.

So how good is that lens anyway?.. I see that some people compair it to the Canon kitlens.. but is that a good lens to compair with? Isnt it better then that?

Popular photo just tested it and they seem to really like it.
According to Photozone.de, it seems to be optically better than the Canon 17-85 in terms of CA, barrel distortion at 17mm, and sharpness (to a small degree).
