Hello Sandy, It would help to indicate realistically how much you are willing to spend. There are quite a few options that have a wide range of price. Also, since you are talking about an APS-C format, how wide are you really thinking? 28mm for full frame is not really very wide, just starting to get wide. For APS-C that is about an 18mm lens. So it you really want wide, you are looking at the 14/2.8, 18-55, 16-45 and 16-50 for current lenses.
More info would help us give more useful opinions. -- Best regards, Bruce Friday, January 1, 2010, 7:49:39 PM, you wrote: SH> I'm on a limited budget, looking for fairly lightweight travel SH> combination.
