I have now played with my Sigma 18-35 1.8 lens enough to know that it is not a good lens to go spotting with unless your right next to the runnway, but even then things seem far away.
But for shooting indoor low light events it focused better in low light then my 50mm 1.4 and on a crop camera the 50mm is always too close. With my new lens it will be used for portraits of familys and good times...I do not want a person cut off or a moment lost.
I did a sweet 16 with it the other day and it was better than I could have imagined! I could not believe that the focus was that much better then the 50mm and using my 28-75 2.8 was not an option because even 28 on a crop camera is not good enough for those wide shots. Oh, and the best part is that it has better quality image at all zooms than the 50mm prime. This lens is a must if you are shooting a lot of indoor family occasions and weddings. For wedding I would have the 28-75 on a backup body.
The tammy 70-300vc is no joke of a lens and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for $1000 glass for $499....but by far my most important lens is 18-35 1.8
