New Sigma lens announced 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC MACRO
http://www.sigma-photo.co.jp/english/
Perhaps it will compete the Nikkor 17-55Dx

Interesting stuff, I think the kit lens will continue to server me in this range for atleast the next year to come... but I guess it all comes down to spending money

I tried (and am trying), but I'm always tempted to sneak a peek

It will be interesting to see what price point they end up with in Oz.

One thing I do wonder, how many wide-medium range zooms does Sigma need? Incredible!

Oh well! as you have known, Sigma has more ranges than Nikkor.
And they do have some good ranges.
The new baby is going to respond to their Sigma fans: Sigma has better range than Nikkor (17-70 vs 17-55Dx)

Hahaha! You know, my Tamron 28-300 is the best lens ever!
