The Sigma 15-30 is a fine lens and it is so much more fun than the EF-S17-55. I'm happy to own both of course but really I often take the Canon because it's reported to be such a crack lens. When in reality the
Sigma takes much more interesting photos.
Street shots or Moonlight landscapes, portraits... can all be straight or playfully distorted with the Sigma when required or if you just need to frame everything you can.
The Canon has the quickness but it's 2 weak points are it only goes down to 17mm and night shots with moon ghost terribly.
