Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM. Good range and quality, but pricey.

I have an 18-135mm living on my Canon 60D. I still need a 2.8 in my collection. But the 60D is the new addition to my T1i as I need 2 bodies for events. But the 60D was well worth it.

MY "BIG BOY" PENTAX K10D SPORTS A PENTAX 18-250 , AND IT REALLY DOES A JOB FOR ME. (THE ONLY LENS I OWN FOR IT, SO NO CHANCE OF DUST, ETC. WHEN CHANGING), IN ADDITION, MY NIKON P-60 LIVES IN MY POCKET.
BOTH HAVE PRODUCED EXCELLENT RESULTS.


Post an example if you can...

Besides my Glock 26, I walk around with 2 cameras. A trusty Canon G11 point & shoot (28-140mm) 2.3 that even shoots camera RAW. My big boy workhorse is my Canon 7D with a Canon 55-250 EF-S, IS lens. It's reasonably priced and superior quality shots. (Of couse pp is always available).

I make it a habit of keeping the Canon P&S G11 with me ALL the time.

Just my .02 :)

My Olympus E3 with the Olympus 12-60 mm (24-120 equiv.) f/2.8 ED SWD Lens. The two makeup a super fast and sharp package and the Auto Focus is as fast as it gets with any setup. Its a hefty pile to carry but it gets the job done.

Depends. If in town and in buildings, shooting street scenes and interiors, I love my 35mm f1.8 prime. If out in the wide open spaces looking for wildlife, my 70-300mm f5.6 tele. If not knowing in advance, I always start with the kit lens, 18-55mm then maybe move to the 35mm or not. The18-55mm has great flexibility but is not a very fast lens but great for the versatility so I probably have it mounted more than not.

I like my Canon 18-135mm for a walk around. It's smaller and lighter than the 200's. It's the one I keep on the camera most of the time.

Thought this might make for an interesting discussion... What's your favorite walking around lens, the one that usually lives on your camera and why?

For myself, I like the Nikkor 18-200mm 1:3.5-5.6 VR on a D7000, i'd like it to be faster... but it seems to be the one I carry walking around town or in the woods. It does become a bit heavy after a while. And, the VR is a plus. Sometimes I forget that the polarizer also lives on the lens and I see perfect reflections in the viewfinder, but...

Although I have several "L" lenses for my Canons, I find that my Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di is a great walk-around lens. It's light, has great range, and is tack sharp. Attached is a grab shot I took with it that illustrates its quality.

I shoot Sony(A-850), and I have both Zeiss and Sony 'G' lenses, but as you say, the Tamron 28-300 is my walk-around lens!
