So I've been searching for an all around lens. Mainly I like shooting vehicles or people at family events/cottage stuff. Right now I have a Rebel XS (clearly nothing special) with a 50m 1.4 and then the stock lens. I had the following list of lenses:
Sigma 24-60 F2.8
Sigma 17-50 F2.8-4 OS HSM
Sigma 18-50 F2.8 EX DC Macro
Tamron 28-75 F2.8
Tamron 17-50 F2.8
Tamron 17-50 F2.8 VC
Canon 17-85 IS USM
That was the initial list. After reading through this forum, I've narrowed it down to either the Tamron 17-50 F2.8 VC or the Sigma 18-50 Macro. Thoughts? All of them on the list are in my $500ish price range with a good warranty, I'm just not sure what to pick as I have zero experience with either of these brands.
