I've been flogging mine but mostly in low light, I just wish that the zoom range was a bit wider. When I have plenty of light I'm generally using my new Sigma C 17-70/2.8-4 in preference to my Sigma 17-50/2.8 and finding it more than adequate. I am keen to test the 18-35/1.8 to it's full potential though, I have a couple of projects that may entice me to do so.
