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.

if they test it, and it gets great reviews, it will be the bomb that beats my 15-85  - now selling b&h
