Re: Lens recommendation based on current usage

Thanks for all your input. I was checking my numbers and the lens prices on ebay and I think I'll go for a wide lens. I still need to sell the 18-200mm to get the money, I'll go for the better deal on either the 10-18mm or the 15-85mm which are surprisingly "cheap".

I decided on favoring focal length since fast and wide seems too expensive for me and because most of the shots i kept that were f2.8 are not among my favorites (I like to see them in my online albums, but I would not share or print them).

I would really like the canon 17-55mm f/2.8 and the sigma 18-35mm f/1.8, but those are over my budget. Hopefully after a couple of years as the 3rd stage of my photography.

While on the subject, what would you suggest as a usable companion for each the 10-18mm and the 15-85mm?

I just got some extra money and might be able to buy a 2 lens combo instead of just one. I think I can get the the 10-18mm under $300 or the 15-85mm around $400, so with a $600 total i could get a complementary lens.
