This comes up in threads all the time. People asking about the best walk-about lens for their new 7D/xxD/Rebel camera.

Of course the right answer is "depends on how you shoot". This poll isn't to determine which zoom lens choice is right or wrong. It is to gather statistics on what people's preferences are.

It will be interesting to see what more people prefer (or perhaps its 50/50): 24mm+ zooms or wider.

If your walk about lens is a prime or telephoto, sorry, this isn't an all encompassing poll. This is focused on standard zooms only.

I had a 24-105L as a walkabout lens on a 7D but almost always carried a 10-20 in the bag.  It is however wide enough on a full frame body that I'll only take the 12-24 that replaced the 10-20 out if I want insanely wide.
