A 50 prime is your shortest lens? Wow. 10-22 is going to be some drastic culture shock. Are you sure a 17-55 or 24-x isn't a more usable choice for you?


Reading the subject line first, I figured it was time to say "it's all about the light" - if your photography would improve with some artificial bursts of light, then go with flash gear; otherwise a lens would make more sense. However, I'd be thinking you want a wider lens almost no matter what.
