As you say, it does look very sharp. It's in about the same range for zoom, aperture and price as the Tamron 28-75. What made you choose the Sigma?

24 mm is equal t o 38 mm film on my Rebel,compare to 28 mm which is 45 mm on Tamron,not wide enough for me :-)

No fair. A pretty girl like that makes any shot look nice.

This lens looks like a good value. One day I will have to replace my 18-70/3.5-4.5 with a faster all-purpose walkaround lens. The 17-55/2.8 is too pricey for me so I am going to try and find something in the Sigma EX line to upgrade to. I have the EX 105/2.8 macro lens and it's a terrific quality lens...good build.

Do you, by chance, have any shots in low lighting? I'm actually considering a similar lens for my D100...
