Ceistinne, thanks very much for the info on the 17-70 f2.8-4 DC Macro HSM C. That's a zoom in the mid range I like. I photograph the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia so often (part of my backyard when at our country place) I like zooms rather than wide angle.. which squashes down our mountains LOL. Zoom makes them stand up more. They're not that high. Know anything about the 18-200. F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM C ?

I have a couple nice older zooms and primes. It might be sensible to pair the 30mmf1.4 Art often bundled with the SD Quattro with a mid range zoom. Then I have a very nice old 105mm Macro which does lovely distance too. I must pull out and play with the SD15 to see what lenses I have there. I have many discontinued lenses some excellent with the SD10/14/15. What ever happened to the 50mm prime? I have a lovely historic one which was my walk around prime on SD10/14/15.

The 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 C lens is a great walk around lens and quite light weight. Its not great wide open at the wide end, but not many lenses are.

Have a look here for some examples. Not all shots were made with this lens.
