I fear the thread is skidding...
anyway most of the answers are quite accurate,
the perfect all around-lens doesn't exist,
you'll have to make a choice what's important for you,
the biggest range...a 18-200(270)mm ? (=hollyday lens?)
a compremise between range and quality...a 18-125(135)mm (all purpose "cheap")
no compremise in quality...a 15(18)-85mm (all purpose "expensive")
no compremise and low-light/low DOF possiblity...a 17-50(55)mmf2.8 (=wedding-lens?)
all depends what you expect the lens to perform...
