Which lens to keep with the k3

With the 24-70 being a full frame lens, it is the one that will have to go.

I sometimes shoot college and club level hockey, including roller-hockey where flash is not an option. I often use my old but good Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8 EX DG which is a FF lens. I have also used my newer Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM which is vey good also, though I don't need that much wide angle. But there's no other way without the f2.8 aperture I can get the shutter speed I need without raising the ISO quite a bit. Though now my KP can handle that, I'd rather go with less ISO and more aperture. The VF is brighter too.
