More excellent suggestions. I am glad I started this thread because I had no idea there were that many great walk around lenses.

17-85 sounds like a must for me shortly.

I've got the 17-40L and am very happy with it, and I use it the most of all my lenses. It's one of the cheaper L lenses, so worth looking into.

I have the 28-135. It's an awesome lens with excellent qaulity for a zoom - but lacks the wide view ot the say the 18-135. My walk around lens would be Sigma's 17-70. it's on my list. Canon's 17-40 is an awesome lens too.

I have the canon 18-200m IS lens. Love it so far.

I personally think the 17-40 is not very good on a crop, not compared to other lenses and their prices. It really shines on a FF camera though, as the price and the fact that it shares the 77mm filter size with the 24-70 and 70-200, unlike the 16-35 make it an extremely good value.

I usually have my new EF-S 60 mm lens on my camera most of the time. My go to used to be the 28-90 mm EF but I don't use that quite as much anymore.
