I have the Nikon 17-55 with my D70 and really like the focus speed and accuracy in low light. It is rather large and a bit unbalanced for a D70 (I think) but it\'s what keeps dangling the D300s in front of me instead of the 7D because I do not like the Canon 17-55. I really like how the Nikon\'s hood is mounted to the body of the lens rather than the zooming mechanism (similar to the 24-70\'s).
One thing that has not been mentioned is that the Nikon 17-55 can be had for quite a bargain used nowadays, anywhere from $800-$900 for a clean copy. That\'s a significant savings from new. Still more than the Sigman/Tamron, but something to consider.
