Re: 700D Kit lens upgrade

Most of my astro work is with a dedicated mono CMOS camera and telescope, see my website here:

But from time-to-time I do widefield using Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM an EF-type fit that works fine with the 700D APS-C format camera.

I'll probably use the replacement to the kit lens for general day-to-day terrestrial photography. It's just that if I'm upgrading it would make sense that it also works for astrophotography and if possible accommodates the aforesaid light pollution filter.

Was thinking about something like this perhaps or are there others to consider?
