Sigma 18-35 : better focus rig and focus throw. Better in low light. smooth zoom, no IS:(

Sigma : 17-50 : lighter smaller, more range, IS!!

Does the fact that 18-35 has no IS is a sufficient reason to get the 17-50 ?


What do you guys think of these 2 ? It looks like they are good choice for general zoom for canon 60d.

Thanks in advance

IS is nice to have, but not needed at such wide angles.

I'd prefer the 18-35 coupled with a 24-70 for starting up.

If you only have one lens in your bag though, then the more range of the 17-50 will probably be more useful.
