Hi all - I just ordered a SD1 body, and now need a lens for it. I know that a couple of prime lenses will probably provide the highest IQ, but is there a mid-range zoom that will be almost as good? I'm wondering about something in the 28mm - 85mm (35mm equiv.) range. I did try the search function, but got kind of confused because I'm not familiar with the old vs. newer Sigma lenses. thanks ---john.

For my SD1M, I've put a hold on all my lens buying while I wait for the new lenses to be released gradually.  I think it would get under my nerves to buy a lens that wasnt tested on their new A1 system.

So, if I were to buy a lens right now, I'd go for the new Sigma 35 1.4 which is superb.  Otherwise, I'd wait a few weeks and see how the new 17-70 is.
