Hi, I've had the Sigma 17-70mm and the Canon 17-85mm lenses. The Sigma developed a fault where after a few shots it would lock up, and I had to remove it from the camera to release it. The Canon was a much better lens, sharp and good contrast. I now have the Canon 15-85mm lens, and that is...

A wonderful thing is 'upgrade-itis'. I've gone from a 400D to a 450D, a 500D and now a 550D. I've also changed my Canon 17-85mm lens for the 15-85mm. Boy it feels good, especially when you're told you have more money than sense, and you just go 'Yup!!'

I had a similar problem some time ago. Ibought a Canon 400d with a sigma 17-70mm lens. It worked fine, then I upgraded to a 450d, and the sticking problems started. Also carried on when I changed to the 500d. Decided to change to a Canon 17-85, which gave no problems and was a much better lens.
