I'm in need of a really good "walk-around" lens. I've got a 10-20mm which is great for architectural or landscape shots. I've got a 75-300mm tele zoon which suits my needs for outdoor sports. I've got a 50mm f/1.4 which I find perfectly meets my portraiture needs. My current "walk-around" lens is the 18-55mm Sigma. While it's a great little lens, I really want to get a) nicer glass and b) something in more of the 20-100-ish mm range to provide me with a little mroe flexability. Any suggestions?

If you can spring for the EF 24-105 f/4 L IS USM that'd be my suggestion, though I don't have any experience with it outside reviews (which indicate excellence). For great info on Canon zoom (and other) lenses I'd suggest starting your reading here:

Post 40D release, I'm finally ready to buy into the Canon lineup. Here's my plan:
Wide ... EF-S 10-22m f/3.5-4.5 USM
Mid ... EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM
Long ... can't afford a lady in white yet
Fast ... EF 50mm f/1.8 II

OK....it's 2009 and I'm finally getting ready to order the EF 24-105mm f/4 IS L (decided to go with it over the EF 24-70 f/2.8 L). I've already got the EF 50 f/1.4 USM, so I've got a fast lens already. My next investment will be in the EF 70-200 f/2.8 IS L later on.

Thanks for the advice!
