I've got three recent sigma pro-zooms in my kit that I work pretty hard, generally 1000+ exposures per session and they have been flawless, the only lens that I currently have out of action is a Pentax. I do a lot of live performance work, the extra stop comes in very useful when lighting is bad (which is mostly the case).
