This is the Sigma 17-35mm f2.8-4.0 EX DG wide angle lens for Canon digital cameras. Nearest price is £260-300 but Jessops are doing it for £135.

EX lens, so 3 yerar Sigma Warranty
HSM focusing, fast and quiet.
F2.8-4 means it will have decent low light capacity.
On a 1.6 Crop body it will be the equivalent of 27-56mm
Is a DG lens, so can be used on Full frame cameras as an UWA lens on the 5D, Canon film cameras, etc.

By the way, the Jessops image shows a Mk 1 lens - It is actually the Mk II lens they are selling, which is the improved one.

Reasonable price but from what I've heard, its not worth much more anyway. Apparently one of the lower end of the EX series, infact I have heard it shouldn't even be called an EX as it doesn't match up to the rest of the series.

Bit of an odd range too, ok for landscapes but too short a zoom for much else - id just go with the 17-70 for roughly the same money
