i'll probably go for 17-50 tamron (not stabilized)

i'm looking forward to substitute the death kit lens with the tamron 17-50 not stabilized (here in italy the price is around 300 euros) but i love the fixed focal lens so much... but i'm realizing i also need a general purpose lens.

I was also looking at 15-85 which is really great, but it cost a lot more! (also 24-105 L f4 , but the price is high and the focal lenght is not so wide on aps-c)

thanks for the insight Jamsus, I've seen a lot of your Scottish pics but i'll look again for more.

sorry about your kit lens.

a big draw is the price, I really like that about it, so thank you very much.

And, not last to mention - is REALLY CHEAP for the quality.

Hey Zach! Sorry i didn't read the message!

My opinions are very positive. The lens is really sharp, it's really small to carry around and pretty well builted.

During this summer my brother broken the 18-55 kit lens, so i bought this just 1 day before my 15 days trip in scotland and i was impressed.

Okay, on aps-c 40 mm are something like 64mm and it's not a landscape lens, but is for details. If you look at my flickr profile, there will be a LOT of shots done with 40mm, mainly Assisi pictures, and scotland ones!

I saw in one of your posts you said you had the canon 40mm F2.8 pancake lens, I've been looking at this lens for awhile now and was would like to know your thoughts on it?
