Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM

Hello
Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM 'Contemporary' I plan for walk around lens.
Looking for opinions regarding this lens.
my camera Canon 700D
What's your opinion? Is that a good idea?
What was the alternative?:

I own the previous, non-Contemporary version of the same lens. I think it's a terrific all-around lens. It was the first lens I bought when I began doing photography again in 2012, and I've used it continuously since then. I used it on a Rebel T2i (550D), 70D, 7D, and 7D Mark II.

I used several alternative lenses at various times over the years, including the Canon 15-85 USM, 17-40 L, and 18-55 STM. All great lenses, but I just kept coming back to the Sigma 17-70. The range, the size, weight, handling, and ergonomics, and the image quality, I've been very happy with all of it.

I don't often shoot in low light or wide open. Mostly I'm outdoors and probably stopped down a bit to f/5.6 or f/8.

Hope that helps!

Mike
