28mm is a good focal length, what I meant is that if you owned one of these zooms being discussed I don't think you'd use the 28mm prime all that often. The only other suggestion I could make to you that hasn't been covered here is renting the both of them and seeing which you like better, that's what I did. Sadly that's a bit of an investment itself.

I didn't understand the original post fully, sorry about that. You are right it would only be a little bit faster of a lens so I would probably use the 17-5X for whatever I would use that prime for. Now I guess it is just between the Sigma and a flash or the Canon...
