hello...
i'm in a bit of a dilemma. i'm going to maui for my honeymoon in august and am having doubts about my 17-85mm IS USM. the fast focus and IS capability is nice but sometimes, my shots are just too soft, especially wide open. and i want my pics from maui to be nothing short of spectacular. afterall, it's my honeymoon!
so...i'm thinking about selling my lens, and purchasing possibly 2 others in its place to make up for the focal range. any L lenses are out of my budget, but are there two lenses somewhere within the same range as the 17-85 that you guys would suggest? i already have a 85mm/1.8 so i'm not worried about the telephoto end of the spectrum.
i was thinking about the sigma 18-50mm/2.8 and the ef-s 60mm macro...because i always wanted a macro lens :). i've heard that the 60mm is plenty sharp, but how's the 18-50mm?
