I recently stumbled upon a used sigma 17-35 2.8 to 4.0 EX hsm for the excellent price of 100.00. The retailer explained that the aperture is stuck at 8.0 which explains the price. He also indicated that the glass is very clean and the lens was hardly used. I trust this retailer and I'm almost ready to buy it but I want to seek council from some people here. Has anyone used this lens and if so do you like it? Would you buy it again? Am I selling myself short with a lens that can only do f8? Also, It's doubtful that I'll have the money to get this fixed anytime soon. I really want a wide angle lens and at 17 this isn't quite as wide as I'd like but it's doubtful that I'll have the 500+ dollars to purchase what I want any time soon. At a minimum this would be a good replacement for my crappy kit lens. What do you think?
