Re: walk around prime lens for canon 7D mark ii

I have the Sigma 18-35 1.8 Art. It is a great lens. I started with the Canon 28 1.8 but also found it was too narrow in certain situations. The 18-35 offers the flexibility of a zoom with the optical quality of primes. I would seriously consider it if I were you. It is on my 70D 80% of the time. Its price should be close to the Sigma Art primes in the same focal range. Main drawback is the size and weight, but I quickly learned to deal with it given the wonderful IQ it delivers.

There might be other good solutions though.

Good luck!
