 Why choose Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8?, and not Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5?

as for me ah... two lenses in mind. one is 17~85mm F4~5.6 IS, and maybe 17~40mm f4 L gua.. cause both lens also not bad and is around the my price range.

17~85mm
pros: wider range of focal length, IS, Build of lens is good. permanent lense length(when zooming lense's length is still the same), solid touch.

cons: no hood comes along when purchase, 17mm have barrel distortion, very sharp but not super sharp like L lens. LOL.

17-40mm L
pros: it's a L lens LOLs, less barrel distortion at 17mm, EF lense can be used in full frame body in future, super sharp.

cons: short range of focal length lor, no IS.

Grr.....

the 17-85 does extend when zooming, I got that lens, unless there's a another ef-s 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens
