		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).
