Has anyone tried out the sigma 17-35?
I think it looks nice, the 17mm will work fun for distortion, and 2.8 is about enough I think, how 'bout you ?

I do believe the Sigma 17-35 will only come out in January 2004. See here:
//www.dpreview.com/news/0311/03111802sigma1735mm.asp
I've been considering the Sigma 15-30mm EX for a while. I'll consider the Sigma 17-35 once I see user reviews. I think Sigma is coming out with a 12-24mm (availability)in the next few weeks.

No, that's the non-DG version of the lens.
Actually, I should say that yes there are versions of the 17-35mm available but the one in the dpreview article isn't the one being sold on the B&H website.

A very interesting lens. I will be looking at where this one comes in on price. I sure wish Sigma would put up MTF graphs on their site though.

| Yes I own a Sigma 17-35D F2.8-32 Aspherical. I really like it, the quality is very good and I love the wide angle. I think I paid about $550 for it. |

It appears the DG version is an update to the HSM focusing, giving you the same "manual override" of AF by twisting the focus ring as what the Canon "USM" lenses provide.

From the Sigma FAQ:
Q: Some Sigma lenses are designated "DG". What does this mean?
A: The DG designation applied to certain newer Sigma lenses (mostly wideangle and wide zoom type lenses) indicates that the lens is especially suited for use with digital SLR cameras. The DG lenses feature improved (more even) light distribution from image center to edge, especially at maximum aperture, compared to conventional fast wideangle lenses.
Sigma's HSM is their version of Canon's USM, both of which allow full-time manual focus (for those Canon lenses with ring-type USM).
