Re: Lens Advice?
Personally, I think a good walking around type of a zoom from Sigma would be the 17-70mm and the 18-125mm OS.

Are you looking for superb quality, i.e. sellable, or just for your own, scrapbook, photo album type purposes, or web and email? If either of those, then the cheaper lenses will be fine, only downfall at that point is the slowness of the lens, you'll be limited there. I'd say, a great, for the most part, all around lens,…
