This is very nice lens for crop sensors, I have one for Canon. Good price.
P.S. Sigma are going to increase lens prices in Europe from 1 Jan 2017.

Good deal but I need to make do with my 24-120 f4; can't justify this. Would be great for low light photography though.

Managed to get this for less than £400 with 20% off warehouse deals, it's amazing. But a big heavy chunk, feels great though.

The Ken Rockwell review makes it clear this isn't a long term investment (ie using 10 years down the track), nor is it a very useful range at only 18-35mm.

I have used these lenses and I loved them. They may not be your Holy Trinity but they are an amazing piece of glass for they're price-tag!
As for Rockwell, I only look at the image reviews, everything else has to be filtered, it's his opinion, after all the glass is nothing but a tool. Buying it not depends on the person and what do they intend to have as a final result, saying 18-35 isn't useful doesn't say anything to me, I might disagree.

isn't it common knowledge that kens a tool?
this lens is basically thought of as multiple primes in a (large) can
any need a nice quality 18mm? how about a 20? how ... you get the idea...
oh its not a PRO lens? so he wouldn't buy it... chuck it in the bin!
