I went to my local camera store to have a look at it and my first impression was that the lens is really big. That actually made me look more at the sigma 17-50 since that is smaller and more lightweight considering I'm aiming for this lens to be my everyday walking around lens.

Thoughts?

I'd advise you to base your decision on all of the properties of the lenses in question.
