Then I would give the Canon 35 mm f/2 IS or the Tamron 35 mm f/1.8 VC a try. Both have a good reputation, but the Canon is cheaper and lighter.

I would choose the Canon of these two. The Tamron shines on full frame, but is a (bit of a) waste of money (and weight) on crop, and the Canon will focus faster and better with off center AF-points.

The IS of the Canon is good, you can easily use a shutterspeed of 1/10.

I Have the sigma 18-35 f/1.8.  I need schutterspeeds of 1/80 with this lens. It is also terrible front heavy. The Canon 35mm is a pleasure to use, the Sigma causes pain in your hands after shooting it for a while. Also: beware of autofocus problems with the Sigma. I bought an M50, one of the reasons was to make this lens focus accurate. IQ is nice, and so is the the ability to zoom out indoors when you just can not back up.
