The simple answer is not so simple. It depends on what you want to photograph. A 24-105L is great on a crop for event, like craft fairs or a Renn festival. It is good for people photos. If what you want is a lens for architecture, it may or may not be suitable, depending on where you are. I'd want something wider in Rome, but it might be fine in Paris.

Walk about where?

Hi Arty,

I'll clarify: This poll assumes you own one general purpose standard zoom lens, what focal length would you want?  For many people this one lens covers indoor & outdoor event photography, travel and landscape.
