  Both good lenses, I have never tried the 17-50, but it has an excellent reputation, supposed to be very sharp. I own the 28-75 and love it, nice and sharp and really like the colours it produces.

  One thing though it does search abit in low light, something you will need to think about if most of your shooting is indoors.

  You may also want to think about the extra reach you get from the 75 vrs what you lose at the wide end.
