I'm using the Kit lens with my T2i, 18-55mm. It is a decent lens but I'm looking for a sharper image. Any suggestions for a decent walk around lens?

The Canon EF 24-105 F/4.0L IS USM is a very good lens and one that I often use on both my EOS 50D and EOS 5D Mk II. :thumbup:

What's your budget?
What distances / focal lengths do you do MOST of your shots at?

It appears you're looking for a jack of all trades, master of none IN the $600 - $700 range. The topic has been covered here before - BUT - - here are a couple of web sites that will help you decide on features versus price. Although more expensive and not quite as long, I chose the Canon 18-200 for my 7D. With your crop sensor T2i, I don't think you'll be happy with a 28mm for the wide end! Even with an 18mm - I often need my Tokina 12-24 in situations where the 18 just can't get it all.

Above may not answer your specific question - - you might also look at:
Canon EF-S 17-55
Tamron 17-50 f/2.8
Canon EF 24-105 (may NOT be wide enough for a crop camera)
.
Good luck in your search ! :)

These large zoom ratio lenses like 18-270 ect. in my humble opinion, cannot possibly be in the sharpness range you suggest.....goes against the laws of optics ! I have been looking at the much more modest Sigma 17-70 F2.8-4 ( $469 ) which is their latest version of this zoom length with OS. I do not have one, but the reviews are very positive. Sigma does have quality control issues so buy from a seller who will guarantee it and offer a replacement if not satisfied.
