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?

Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM standard zoom lens

What I'm getting at is that there are a lot of really good EF-S standard zoom lenses out there...
