I have the Sigma 17-70 and love it. I opted for it over the 18-55 kit lens. I hasn't disappointed me. However for travel, I've chosen to add the Pentax 18-250. IQ might not be perfect at all lengths, but overall it will be a great lens to accompany my Sigma 10-20 when I'm traveling. If the Pentax version of the 17-70 had been available I would have looked very closely at it for sure.
