The only lens, that comes near to Sigma's 18-35 is Canon's EF-S 17-55 2.8. Introduced in 2006 I think it is due for an update. Or would you still buy it for new???

It's not cheese, doesn't have an expiration date; the 17-55 is one great lens, but of course big, heavy and expensive. Pity about the Sigma though.

The 17-55 f/2.8 is wholly inadequate for shooting video, due to its very loud IS. It's a woefully outdated lens to be selling 2018.

No way I would buy one.
