Just curious. What do you use for your walkaround lens?

It depends. I typically use my 24-105 f/4, 24-70 f/2.8, or 70-200 f/2.8 depending on what I plan to shoot. Those are for a full frame camera.

Depending on where I am, either my 28-135 or my 70-200.

My Sigma 30mm f/1.4 stays on my camera almost all the time. I'll pull out the 18-55mm mostly when I want to shoot something wide or I'm in a position where I can't move closer.

I dont have just one.
I have Tamron 24-50 2.8 and a Canon 70-200 f4 L lens
If I have my camera then I always have a camera case of some sort. So that makes it easy to be able to have two lens.

Canon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS is my current walkaround. Next item on my list to get is the Canon 24-105 f/4.0L (will be a little while though!).

Just got a Sigma 17-70. In the couple of days that I have had it, I must say I am liking it. We leave for Disney in a little over a week so it will get a workout. My other "walk around" lens at the World tends to be my 18-250 Pentax for its range (outdoors) and my 50mm 1.4 for indoor shots.

Sorry, like Lay's, can't shoot just one!!!:lmao:

Usually a fast prime somewhere close to the 'standard' focal length depending on what camera I have.

I always have my Sigma 17-70mm on camera or in my bag. I just got a Sigma 30mm F1.4 which is spending some time on the camera as I'm mostly shooting kids indoors as of late.

Usually I have my Sony 18-70 f/3.5 on the camera....especially if i'm going to be primarily outdoors. If I'm going to be indoors... I have a sony fixed 50mm f/1.8 that I love!! Hope to eventually get a 30mm fixed, but one thing at a time:lmao:

Great replies!

The one that is on my camera the most is the 17-55mm 2.8. Love that lens!!

Been looking at this one. Can't decide whether to spend the money for the Nikkor or just go with the Tamron...

I like to shoot close and tight, so the 80-200 2.8D Nikkor stays on my D300 most of the time.
