Re: Indecisive decision on next glass purchase
Well you didnt answer my question, all you did was throw out another website reference out there. Again if is the 18-55MM IS is a better lens then the 17-85mm then why do i get sharper images and better color depth with the 17-85mm?

Re: Indecisive decision on next glass purchase
Craig, you nailed the question I was asking. Thanks for giving me such great advice! I would have never thought about it that way when I first started reading on these glass. I'll probably be looking at the 55-250mm like Brett1000 and gecko0 has recommended. I actually wanted a more walk-around glass such as the 24-70mm… -
