Another review reference http://www.photozone.de/nikon--nikkor-aps-c-lens-tests/313-sigma-af-17-70mm-f28-45-dc-nikon-review--lab-test-report?start=1

I agree with u gnirts Another factor to consider is the f-stop. 2.8 all through of tammy has advantage in low light and sigma 2.8 is limited from 17-24mm. This makes u choice which will be more important for ur shooting preference.

Yep, only the sigma 17-50 was listed. Advantage of sigma is the addition 20mm and macro capability.

As per review the tammy non vc is much better. Anyway, camera shake at this focal length manageable.

Thanks to all ur sharing, will continue to do my research for this one. Hope my budget can fit in, im planning to sell some under utilize camera stuff to fund this one.

Tnx William for ur ideas. How hard it is to use in low light? As mention on the review, f2.8 only at 17mm. Btw, im using d90, this will be my 1st time to buy 3rd party lens so i like to make best decision. I believe u know how expensive nikkor lens right.

hi guys, anyone who have direct experience about how the above lens perform. Was planning to buy this in the future or the tamron 17-50 f2.8 non-vc. Tnx, Jdc

My suggestion.... If possible to chk and visit the venue then u can plan where to position yourself and understand lighting condition. Or should be at least 2 hour earlier before the event to familiarize yourself with the setting.
