I still think it's the most versatile standard zoom in APS-C land!
Great range, faster than regular zooms, very useful pseudo-macro mode and reasonably small and compact (compared to f2.8 zooms).
I wonder why none of the primary manufacturers didn't release something comparable.
Now that I switched to Nikon FF I use the 24-120 f/4, but I still liked the Sigma 17-70 on APS-C better...
