I have that lens (Nikon mount) and it performs well.  Obviously it won't perform as well as other lenses with narrower range, but it makes packing for some vacations a lot easier.  I took these shots with it.

Good to know, thanks! 

That's exactly what I was looking for... a decent option for the "what if you could only pack one lens?" question. 

Truth be told, I'd probably take that and my 35mm prime... well, and maybe my 10-20mm wide angle.... ah, crap.

My last vacation (Food and Wine Fest at WDW) I took the Sigma, my Nikon 50mm 1.8g, and a small travel tripod and that was more than enough to carry on my back.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking... I have a DX format body, so my Nikon 35mm 1.8 is about equal to the 50mm. 

We have been a couple of times to the Food and Wine fest.  It's a good time to be there.
