have to say Rich I'm feeling a real lack of a walkaround lens at the moment, I probably miss a few shots fiddling around changing between the 10-20 and the 50... surely the 17-85 must be on the camera a bit when on the move? I absolutely loved using my dad's 28-300 when travelling in France.. the convenience means you're much less likely to miss a shot but I have to say there are always going to optical compromises in a lens like that (personally I thought the colours were a little flat, it was pretty damn soft wide open and gotta watch out for CA).... got my eye on the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 to fill the gap when I have some dosh!
of those in the link I liked the first 2, also the church interior, and the one with the green boat in the foreground... the rest I don't reckon were anything special.... and speaking of that 'gap', I'd say at the moment I'm shooting about 70% of the time with the 10-20, but yearn for a bit more reach for street shots..
