Need help picking the right lens for trip to Europe

Wow - what search engine are you using? Bing-o? [img]/emoticons/emotion-4.gif[/img]

Yahoo.

Yes, it is. Resistant ≠ impervious. It's a zoom lens.

true.

Regardless, I think you may be unfairly judging an excellent lens, which Bryan calls, "...one of the best general purpose lenses available."

quite possible.

Thanks also, Brendan, for your suggestion of 24-105mm + a UWA - that combo vs. the 17-55mm will be a tough decision for an upcoming trip.

I'd say the advantage of the 17-55 is indoors, and the 24-105mm is outdoors. It depends on where you shoot IMO.
