To put this performance in perspective, compare the Sigma 18-35mm with the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM ($799.00 at Amazon) zoom. That lens is priced at just under $1,200 and features an EF-s 17-55 f/2.8 if you want to get a much better walk around, general purpose lens to replace the 18-55. The 17-55 Won't give you any significant increase in width, But it will give you a great improvement in image sharpness, and it gives you a constant wide f//2.8 aperture across the entire focal range. The lens hood will fit the 18-55 but vignette at wide angles. Therefore, it is not a valid lens hood substitute for the 18-55 IS. I own the proper 18-55 lens hood which is probably 1/4th the length of the 55-250 hood and does not vignette. The hood will also obstruct the zoom ring on the 18-55 kit lens when reversed.
Canon’s range of lens hoods will also help to block any stray light trying to enter the lens. Enjoy reduced glare and streak of light in your photos! Canon’s lens hood range includes options for the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens, the EF-M 28mm f/3.5 Macross IS STM lens, and the TS-E 90 f/2.8 lens.
