You're comparing apples to oranges...and you didn't tell us what your intended use is, so it's really impossible to answer your question.

Ive done some looking around for a pentax mount lens which included both these lenses. The Tamron was higher on my list. Then again, it depends what you wantto do.

Tamron, hands down. It's a great lens. The 17-70 isn't even a fixed f-stop lens.... like the other person said, apples to oranges!

Tough choice. I have the Sigma 17-70 and love it ! It's very sharp it's my vacation lens now.

I also agree that the Tamron is better. I've owned the same lens for a couple years now and it's simply amazing. I'm surprised it doesn't cost more for the quality it gives in my images. I always recommend this lens to other photographers and it's worth it for the low price.
