To be fair, this is my first lens other than the "Kit Lens" that comes with the Digital Rebel (300D). So, with that in mind I would say this is an awesome lens! Granted, not having tried anything else, I can't say how it measures up to other lenses, but on its own merits, and against the kit lens this ROCKS! I am amazed at the sharpness of the shots I am getting! And f2.8 throughout the whole focal range is amazing. Digital Rebel owners, your kit lens will never be able to capture the shots this lens can! I'm shooting away like a fiend at f2.8 in low light, while my kit lens would be struggling to autofocus.

Okay, you get the idea. More experienced photographers may be able to give a more unbiased review, but for a newbie, this is a great upgrade, for when you grow out of the original lens.

It as sharp as any prime at any focus length.
It smooth and perfectly lies in the hand.
It exhibit the BEST optical performance you can imagine.
It is HIGH resolution lens, it is of imperative for digital photography.
It looks cool and perfect cosmetically! :-)
It is durable one!
BTW, take EX 82-mm UV multicoated Sigma filters! They are the best I ever seen in my life! No seriously, Heliopan, Hoya, Tiffen all of them could not handle candle for Sigma in this regard!

Good lens for the money; zooming ring little stiff 24-30; soft at 2.8 razor sharp at 4 and higher; excellent value ; excellent performer in low light tripod shots
