I have a $400 to $500 budget for a lens. I will soon be selling my Rebel XS and buying a 7D and would like to use the lens with it. Which all-around lens should I buy? Please help! I will also be using my nifty-fifty with it as well.

Nov 19, 2010 12:55 | #4 Thanks guys! I think I am going to get the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 VC version. After looking at user-posted pictures, I am sold. I will be ordering it next week so if any of you have a different opinion, please do let me know.
