WTB: Walk Around Lens

[da9k1ne]

I'm looking to buy a nice walk around lens for an upcoming vacation that I'm taking to greece.

I already have the kit lens along with a 50mm so I'm looking for something that at least gets out to 90mm.

Let me know what you have, I have money burning a hole in my pocket. I dont really have much of a budget, around 200 is where I'd like to be.

Thanks in advance!

Just some helpful advice. It would be better for people to offer you a lens if they new what camera you had. Hope this helped.

DITTO.
I'll try anyways: for Nikon, something like 18-105, 18-200 (since you want to get to those 90mm and up focal lengths) is something you might want to look into. They are pretty decent walk around lenses. Since I only use my d90 for non-work related shoots, 18-105 allows me both running after my kids doing stills and videos.
On Canon, I know many people are very happy with 28-135.
Other brands - NO CLUE.

Good Luck

When you say "can't go wrong" you have bear in mind the IQ. Lens has certain parameters, I learned them as trial-error, that you need to be confined to for optimal quality.

Yes, shootermcgavin is right. You can't go wrong with it. I have one also.

You can't go wrong with any of the "hardly nothing mm to everything mm" lenses unless sharpness is your main priority.
