New 50D
Finally I got my first DSLR - Canon EOS 50D + 17-85 lens.
Thanks anyone for helping me make the decision and thank you Bryan for the fast response (via email). I was pretty much sure I'd be getting the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 but before doing that I emailed Bryan something like this:
" I would like to hear what do you think - which one would you pick?" (Tamron 17-50 vs. Canon 17-85)
(this is actually my reply to his reply to my original mail = this is
not the original mail I sent him but a part of our conversation)
And got a reply pretty much like this:
"Really, I’d have to flip a coin – in my mind at least.
The Canon 17-85 is what I’d pick at the moment. I know that is not much
help."
So I got the 17-85 as Bryan suggested and since I thought it would be better (AF-wise) as well.
I'll post some pictures which I took this morning later on...

Cool. FWIW (not much, granted) I would have chosen the 17-85 as well. I have a feeling you're going to be happy []
I'll watch for your pictures.

Ok, here are few shots (zero PP - JPEGs straight out of the camera, only cropping and resizing were done):

I like the first shot, very nice colours. I also have just taken delivery of a 50D and loving it. What settings did you use for the first one?
