Please tell us more about the type of shooting that you do, or wish to do.
Sports, events, night, scenics, portraits, etc.
What is your background in photography?
The more you elaborate about your goals and aspirations, the more we can help.
Sigma doe not make a 17-300.....however they do make the 18-200 and 18-250.........this LINK ..... will take you to the SIGMA LENSES LIST PAGE ........
I would for an all around lens suggest the 18-250....might as well get a ll the reach you can....
I neeed the lense for normal all-day uses and not for a specific use or event.
I am unfamiliar with a Sigma 17-300mm lens. Could you mean the new Sigma 70-300mm, F4-5.6 DG OS? If so I haven't seen any tests but I think it could be slightly less compromised in complex distortions over the Sigma 18-200mm, f3.5-6.3 DC OS, but obviously is intended for different use.
My own suggestion, and what I do myself, is to use 2 lenses to cover that range.
What I chose, for Canon crop 1.6x camera applications, is:
Canon EF-S 17-55mm, f/2.8 IS USM
Canon EF 70-200mm, f/4L IS USM
I add a Canon 1.4x teleconverter to extend the range of the longer zoom and I am still pretty happy with the image quality.
While this is part of a "travel kit", I use the same lenses for some paying event work as well.
