Sigma 18-35/1.8
1

Since I went all-crop, I traded my 35/1.4L for the Sigma 18-35/1.8.

I have two complaints about it:

  1. The zoom ring turns the "wrong" way (not the Canon way).
  2. I had some difficulty calibrating it, and had to buy the Sigma USB dock to make it happen. Even then, it took a while to narrow in on the right numbers. Seems okay now.

I'll get used to the first one, and the second one seems to be history now.

I have to say, it's really nice to have a "prime" that has a zoom range! My one and only issue with my 35/1.4L was the lack of focal length range. Spectacular lens in every other way.
