I am used to buying lenses on ebay, where the canon 10-22, sigma and tamron lenses go for a very similar price to the 10-18, since being a really new lense the 10-18 doesn't have many copies on the market. It's more a question of image quality.

Like I said, the 10-18mm is better in IQ than the two or so (3, there are two different Sigma 10-20mm versions) lenses you mentioned.

So, that is my (good) advice, just go for a new Canon EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM. Better and faster AF, better sharpness, lighter, cheaper, IS.

The new 10-18mm is a great lens, I use it on my Blackmagic 4K Camera and it's just fantastic, IS is certainly a bonus if you do any video.
