Thanks for the reply. Actually, I already have one, and like it a lot when I really need w-i-d-e. However, my issue isn't with the wide end (17mm does fine for most of my work), but with the long end: 35 or 40mm isn't long enough, so neither the 17-35 or 17-40 works as an "all purpose" travel lens. I'm look for something that goes to about 17mm at the wide end, and 60 or so at the long end. The closest seems to be the 18-50mm Sigma, but it's so inexpensive it can't be very good optically. I guess I'll just have to use the 17-35 / 28-70 combo for the time being, but I'd sure like to cover most of that range in one lens. ===== Bob Meyer I wish I knew what I know now, when I was younger... http://www.meyerweb.net/epson __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
