Re: Advice on the best portrait/walkaround lens for 20D
Mongrel, the 24-105 L IS is a great walk around lens on a full frame camera, but I thought there was a budget limitation of around $500. The Tamron 28-75 f2.8 Di is not very wide on an APS sensor camera I agree, But 1.6x 75=120mm - more than long enough for the stated portrait usage. The Tamron does not focus as fast as a… -

Re: Advice on the best portrait/walkaround lens for 20D
Hello Benignor and... welcome to Dgrin! Well, I read your post and the lens that *immediately* came to mind is the EF-S 17-85mm IS. I don't own one myself, but I have a 20D and I am constantly considering picking up this lens for just what you described. The lens has it's opponents, but MANY photographers I…
