Hello TPF!
I have Canon's 17-85mm f/4-5.6, and have found myself in a lot of low-light situations. After some "research" (browsing B&H), I have come across Sigma's 17-70mm f/2.8-4. This lens would obviously be better in low light, and I don't need those extra 15mm. When looking at the lens, it just looks cheaply built compared to what I have now, and I'm not sure if the IQ will decrease. Do any of you have experience with this lens or any other Sigma lenses in the same price range? I guess Nikon users could theoretically answer this too.
