It definitely will not be my go to lens, the Canon 18-135 f/3.5-5.6 STM should end up being the go to.

Ken Rockwell says:

This is my favorite all-around zoom for 1.6x Canon cameras. It covers all the focal lengths I need, and it zooms and focuses like a dream.

With manual-focus override and smooth zooming, it handles better than most Canon lenses.

I'd buy one of these in an instant if I was shooting a 1.6x Canon camera, like the 7D or T4i or whatever.

The Sigma f2.8 50-150 is the best option in class for 1.6x Canon cameras and will hopefully be the go to for indoor basketball and volleyball games which I will be spending a lot of time at over the next few years with my 11 year old daughter. Capturing this period of her life somewhat justifies the investment. I can also see it being very good for motorsports action, the f2.8 aperture will let me use the 8 fps speed of my 7D. Who knows, I might even take a couple pics of the mutts with it too.
