Which Lens not Who's

[martcol]

I've searched the forum but didn't find the answer: if you were starting off what lens would you get? This is a kind of 'Desert Island Disk' thing - only allowed one luxury! Seriously, I can't afford silly money, but usefulness is a priority over price. Photographic Style is yet to be decided but at the moment, eclectic probably fits the bill. Bottom line is, I love photography!

Anyway, I think you Know what I'm saying.

P.S. Sigma or Canon?

Sigma 24-70mm f2.8. You just have to watch as quality control is not so hot. Mine had soft spot at wide angle and was adjusted by sigma.
The new Canon L version has had production problems and many are going faulty within a short time, so it isn't just sigms and ths canon is 4x the price.
