So far Sigmas from DC series got quite favourable reviews and so far they were only cheapo versions (18-55/3.5-5.6 is 4x cheaper than DA 16-45). Being from EX series I suspect this one will be even better. And it will be certainly better than DA 16-45 at f2.8 :-P Of course it won't have QSF though.
