Thanks for that review, Bulent. I'll give the one I'm looking at
stronger consideration.

I have it.
Unfortunately, I have not used my Pentax DSLR's much, in recent times.
I only seem to use the (Sigma) 70mm f/2.8 EX DC macro.
However, I remember the days 17-50mm was on.
Optically and ergonomically it was very good.
The coverage is almost perfect for an all-time, wide aperture, high
performance zoom.
My copy had no problem with focus (back-, front- or decentralization).
Speedwise, it was probably better than similar range Pentax ones.
It offers in-lens stabilization as a bonus and you are advised to turn
it off if you prefer
image stabilization offered by the body.
I have always used the sensor based stabilization, due mostly to being
accustomed to it.
Lens based stabilization made me dizzy!
Then came my decision to use primes almost exclusively (just a
coincidence, not related to Sigma).
I heartily recommend it for everyone who are looking for a fast,
standard, affordable zoom with
definitely above average optical and mechanical quality.
I may start using it again anytime.

Anyone have any experience or opinions on this lens?
