Personally I think the 17-70 is a bit of a rip off compared in price/performance to the standard kit lens.
It is only offering a marginal increase in IQ (well with what I have seen anyway) performance.
This lens costs R 8000 and the kit R 1 600 over here.
If I could see IQ similar to the 12-24/16-50 I could possibly justify it's price as an all purpose lens.
Don't get me wrong - I was really excited when this lens came out, as I wanted to have the 17-70 over the kit but I found the IQ more a less the same as the kit - if it had been priced at R 6000 I would have probably bought it.
