Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4.0 DC OS HSM "Contemporary"

Don't overlook the new Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4. Of course nobody has tested it yet since they've just become available. But if recent Sigma lenses are anything to go by (35/1.4, 17-50/2.8, etc.) it should be pretty good optically. And it's only about $500US. Just be aware that there is also an older version of this lens which is still being sold and that is merely mediocre.
