nismoxr34 Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #2 · Need a Lens! If you don't want to carry your 18-55 I suggest the 24-105. Best general purpose lense out of the group, expecially for travel. Its light and has a huge range to work with. Oct 10, 2008 at 09:43 PM

jcolwell Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #3 · Need a Lens! I'll pick door number 2. Unless of course, you think the 18-55mm doesn't give you what you want from it. Oct 10, 2008 at 10:02 PM

damkader Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #4 · Need a Lens! Have you thought of the new 18-200is? If I had a crop body and wanted a 1 lens solution for travel this is the lens that I would pick. Oct 10, 2008 at 10:31 PM

4honor Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #5 · Need a Lens! I'd say #2 out of those, but maybe the 18-200 would be better? Oct 10, 2008 at 10:43 PM

bvassmer Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #6 · Need a Lens! There is always the Tamron 18-250 or the new Tamron 18-270 VC (IS for Tamron), if it will be in stores in time for your trip. Oct 10, 2008 at 10:45 PM

Silentlight Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #8 · Need a Lens! I bought a used, but good copy of Sigma 18-200 OS for $400 from a fellow FMer and it's pretty handy as a quick travel lens. Good saturation and sharpness for a consumer lens. Before that I tried the 18-55 and 55-250 IS combo. That 55-250 IS is a pretty good lens for the price. And lightweight with great IS. The only problem is that you keep having to hold up your travel companions so you can change lenses!!!! If you're thinking of 70-200 range, then perhaps may want to consider Sigma 50-150/2.8 instead. More useful range for general photography and that f2.8 is nice and bright for indoor shots, unless you need a long tele. Kinda like the 70-200 in the FF camera. I wish Canon would have made a good copy of that. Oct 11, 2008 at 01:04 AM

n0b0 Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #9 · Need a Lens! Hey I just heard of this 18-270mm. I hope there's a review for it somewhere. I'm also looking for a good if not great walkaround lens. I wonder if lens manufacturers really can't make a walkaround lens with excellent IQ. Perhaps they make average quality lenses because they don't want half of their product lines become redundant.

EB-1 Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #10 · Need a Lens! Add the 70-200/4 IS to your present lens. EBH Oct 11, 2008 at 02:47 AM

Chris Tylko Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #11 · Need a Lens! Um...what kind of traveling and where...and what kind of pictures? Generally would recommend the 24-105. I've just come back from the US Southwest and lugged 75lbs of bodies, lenses and other accouterments only to discover that 80% of my shots were with the 24-105, 15% with the 10-22, 4% with the 100-400, 1% with the 85 1.8, 0% with the 100 macro, 0% with the 50 1.8 and 0% use of 1.4x.

n0b0 Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #12 · Need a Lens! I only own a crop body so that 24-105mm zoom range is surprisingly a tad inadequate at the wide angle end. I checked the photos I took at my last trip to Japan with the 17-85mm IS kit lens and many of them were taken at around 18 to 30mm and the rest taken around 50-85mm . I could get the 17-40mm L but this time it's inadequate at the telephoto end. Now if Canon was to combine both L lenses into a 17-105mm L, that would be the perfect walkaround lens for me.

Ian.Dobinson Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #13 · Need a Lens! what do you think you gonna be shooting? If you are shooting wide open spaces then get the 10-22 and maybe try to add a cheap but good 2nd hand lens like the 28-105 3.5-4.5 whole trhead going on about cheap lenses http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/692641/2 if you had to take only 1 lens then look into the superzooms but these are always going to ba a big compromise, Also sigma do a 18-125 OS (newer design than the non OS) with HSM so that may be worth looking into as well Oct 11, 2008 at 06:31 AM

mirageII Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #14 · Need a Lens! I would take the 24-105mm lens.. As stated above it is very flexible but not quite wide enough on a crop body (I very rarely need wider). The positives out strip the negatives and you can just take two or three shots and stitch them together when you need wide landscapes. I did a stitch recently with CS3 and was really impressed with the results. just a thought mirageII Oct 11, 2008 at 09:05 PM

dslrintraining Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #15 · Need a Lens! Or, you might consider the Canon 28-135mm IS. It's a decent lens, for $350. But if not then I'd go for the 24-105. Oct 12, 2008 at 01:27 AM

JairCr Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #16 · Need a Lens! Thanks for your answer! Oct 12, 2008 at 11:24 PM
