I've tried the Sigma 17-70 and I've been suprise how is was more bright than my other lens. I've took the same picture my 18-55 and switch to the 17-70, with the same seting I end up with a over exposed picture. Is this just because the 17-70 have bigger glass in front? ( 72mm vs 52mm on filter size)
Which would mean that the bigger to glass in front, the better the lens will act in low ligth situation ( since you need to step down to have the same picture )
I'm not sure what the explanation for all this...

This shouldn't occur actually. The amount of incoming light should be measured and compensated accordingly via shutter speed. If you are seeing substantial overexposures this would suggest a problem with the aperture mechanism - at least if this occurs after stopping down.
