What are some recommendations for the best walk-around lens to go with my XTi? I am going on vacation soon and would like to take some nice pics. Thanks.

Are you super anal about quality? If not, how about the Sigma 18-200, it's a pretty good travel lens.
Or how about the 24-105 F4 L?

I'd prefer a quality lens and would be willing to pay a premium. Just looking for a good sharp lens that has a good range. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll go test some out if I can.

Who has a Tamron 17-50 f2.8 for Nikon mount? I've read nothing but great reviews for this lens. They have 2 versions for Nikon, the old version and the new one, which has a internal motor. I was planning on getting the new one, but I read that the focusing is slower than the old screw drive one since the internal motor isn't as good as the Nikon AF-S, Sigma HSM, etc. However, I've only been able to find 1 guy who has reviewed this new lens and that's what he says.

someone is selling their Canon EF-S 17-85 with IS for $300. Assuming its in good condition, is that an okay deal? I currently only have the kit lens (18-55) and this is with a Canon Rebel 300D

I'm looking at the 70-200mm f4 IS and non IS version
the difference btwn the two is like $500!
so my question is...is IS worth $500 more?

Retail on the 17-85 IS at Kerrisdale is $650, so I'd say $300 is a good deal.

So I'm comparing getting either the used 17-85 IS or the used Sigma 18-200 non OS. I'm kind of on a tight budget, and the 17-200 seems to make more sense to me. Is there something I'm missing here? minus the IS

Just that every zoom is inherently a compromise, and the longer the zoom range, the bigger the compromise in quality and weight.
Of course, that's speaking generally. 17-200 is also a more general-use, convenient lens. Really depends on the kind of shooting you do most of the time.

if you're going to get the 18-200, see if you can buck up for the OS.... the OS is so much fun

Looking for a decent walk around lens.
So far I have my 18-55 kit lens and a 35-105 f3.5-4.5 that's older than me.
I was thinking of getting a Sigma 24-60 F/2.8 or a Sigma 24-70 f/2.8. Oh man, not sure. Just don't want to pay the price of an L lens =)

I dunno, to my thinking, a "walk around" lens should be more along the lines of a general-purpose, wide-zoom-range, relatively-light concept - something that you can easily "walk around" with and not have to worry about not having the range or the sore back. f/2.8 will by nature be getting heavier, and 24-60 is a smaller zoom range than what you already have.

What do you guys think of the Tokina 11-16 F2.8? I found it for $540 here in Tokyo. Tax-less...shipping-less. Compared to $569 + shipping and tax at Adorama...but Adorama gets me a warranty.
Same deal with a Tamron 28-75 F2.8. $330 here. Same at Adorama but tax and shipping on top...but with warranty.
...oh yeah, used MkIII for $3800. *drool*

So i'm looking into purchasing a mid-zoom.
So far, I've narrowed down to two choices. Sigma's.. 24-70 or 24-60? I know the price difference so can anyone give me the real pros/cons of these lenses? the extra 10mm in focal length isnt a big deal to me, as i have a 70-200 so can someone advise?
I've been reading fred miranda and it looks like the 24-60 has the better rating while the 24-70 is compared to as being similar to the Canon 24-70L
