have few in mind at the moment,

canon 24-105mm L
Tamron VC 17-50mm F2.8
Sigma OS 17-50 F2.8

or any other that I could have missed out ?

I am using canon 100d. Which one is better for general purpose? I am into street photography, family events etc

the 24-105 would probably be the worst choice among the 3. it's big, it's meant for FF and it's super heavy compared to the 100D.

I never use the sigma before but based on my experience with the tamron, the focusing is pretty useless in lowlight although it is f2.8.

If you are not looking for f2.8, something like the 18-55 stm or 18-135 stm would fit pretty well.

There's another option if you really need a wide aperture, the sigma 18-35mm f1.8. Again, super heavy compared to 100D but optics wise it is one of the best lens for APSC.
