Hi everyone. I'm in the market for a mid-range zoom for my D7000. I'm sure that this topic has been covered many times here before, but I couldn't find the answer to one of my biggest questions by searching, which is my main reason for making this post: Has anyone experienced autofocus problems with the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 on the D7000? The lensrentals website mentions that this combination has "focus issues", but I haven't been able to find much other useful information about it on the web.
I'm primarily interested in focal lengths between ~17 and 35 mm, which is why I'm considering the Sigma 18-35, but more room on the long end would be fine, too. I'm also looking at the Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 OS and the Nikon 17-55. Price is a consideration, and taken together with the possible AF issues of the Sigma 18-35 on the D7000, I am leaning toward the Sigma 17-50. On the other hand, my understanding is that the Nikon 17-55 has less chromatic aberration on the wide end than the Sigma 17-50, which I would prefer. But it also costs more...
If anyone has experience using two or more of these lenses, I would love to hear your opinions about them. My primary application of the lens would be taking pictures of people indoors (family gatherings, children's birthday parties, etc).
