I'd try the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 EX DC OS HSM myself, instead of the tamrons and instead of the Canon Wim suggests. While it is true that f2.8 is not superfast, it is quite a bit faster than f5.6. And the Sigma is much better built than the Tamrons, and focusses better too.



Personally I never get lenses like the 15-85mm... a bit if a point and shoot lens, a bigger focal range bit no real play with depth of field.. espcially in the long portrait end it makes little sense to me.



So... yes, I would look at the Sigma 17-50mm OS HSM. Quite an impressive standard zoom for the money.
