-I'm not sure what you're saying here. If the OP found a C lens for $200, then it's a good deal, but an older 17-70 is maybe not so good with the SD Quattro, right?

As far as I know, all Sigma SA lenses will physically attach to the sd Quattro cameras, but the autofocus part is (essentially) only fully supported when the latest Global Vision lenses are used.

This is according to Sigma itself, not Internet stories.

At least the sd Quattro cameras have live view, magnification and focus peaking... unlike the SD1M.  That said, a better EVF would be welcome.
