Interesting ... personally, I expected more from it.

Well, the last version was a step back from the version before that... at least Sigma is making progress again in this segment.
The 17-50 f2.8 OS HSM performs very well though, and the 8-16mm too... so yes, I too hoped for more.
What I don't like is that it lost its "macro" ability, giving a max. magnification that is a LOT worse than before. And the zoom ring on the "wrong" spot.
Lets see how the 85mm f1.4 will perform!
