Tamron AF SP 28-75/2,8 XR Di LD (Sorry Aaron, had to put it on the list since people are saying that it's better than the Sigma)


The Sigma and Tamron are both 2.8 and I really like playing with depths in pictures.

What's your thoughts?
I'd personally never EVER buy an EF-S lens........... they're a long term false economy - as if you develop your interest in photography then the likelyhood is you'll progress to a full frame camera - like the 5d, which of course cant use EF-S lenses.......

For travelling you will find the 24-70 and 28-75 a little short.... unless you plan to take all you pics in RAW and then use photoshop to crop and bring things nearer
