Any zooms in the 18-70mm ish range AND ~$500 that have FTM?

I just received the Sigma 17-70 HSM 2.8-4, but much to my dismay I thought all the HSM lenses had FTM, but this one does not. I may have to return it if there is an equally good performer at the same price that has FTM.

FTM?

Full Time Manual?

I don't believe there are any.

What system? Pentax 17-70.

Canon, sorry. Do you have to move to L glass like the 24-70L?

17-85mm? definitely has FT-M. street value around ~$300
15-85mm? not sure, some say it does, some say it doesn't. street value around ~$650, but this guy has it for much less! http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?p=32600622

17-55mm 2.8 has it.. but that's way out of price range 😛

It does have FTM.

The Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens features Canon's excellent Ring USM (Ultrasonic Motor) AF system - it is the best available at review time. It is fast, accurate and quiet - and internal. AI Servo AF performs well - and more specifically, well on the cantering horses and kids on bikes I was shooting with it. FTM (Full Time Manual) focusing is provided.
