UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

I keep hoping a new lens will break cover before I get impatient and replace the 18-55 STM kit lens on our SL1. Any indications, or nothing to go on?
The 18-55 STM leaves room to get something sharper with either f2.8 for speed, or more range on the zoom as a bonus. The Sigma 17-50 f2.8 seems handier for relaxed portrait and event stuff, but the Canon15-85 f3.5-5.6 (similar price for used) would be pretty nice for virtually any other general use stuff. The Sigma 18-35 f1.8 makes me think there's room to get a better 17-50, if anyone intends to build it.
