AR Photographers - What's your "Walking Around" lens?

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage 531132

LensI primarily use a Canon 50D body and a Tamron 18-270 telephoto lens, as my "walking around" lens. Excellent wide angle and telephoto combined into one lens, and very lightweight. This lens has been a workhorse for me but it's starting to show some signs of wear. The focusing isn't as crisp as it once was and I can't seem to correct it using micro adjustments built into the camera.

I've had it repaired, and while they replaced some parts, it's never been the same. I'm not looking for an excuse to buy a new lens in this price range. When I'm out and about, I prefer not to have to carry a whole gadget bag of lenses to fit different situations. This 18 - 270 fit just about everything I needed.

Just curious...what's your "walking around" lens?

Richard, I will be honest, we usually have an 18 to 55 mm lens on the camera, we have a 55 to 200 telephoto lens also, but we normally just stick with the 18 to 55 mm.

Rich...

Mine is a Nikkor 35-135 which I use for 85% of my shots! Of course, It seems to work for all of my outdoor shots but isn't wide enough for interior real estate pics.

When I'm going to something I really want to try to shoot well, I'll use my Nikon D90 with my "walking around lens" - an 18 x 105.  I have a 300 mm, but must admit, I have rarely pulled it out.

I usually have a Canon SX200 12.1 mp with 12x zoom point and shoot in my purse.  It's small, lightweight, and goes with me most everywhere.  I seem to capture half my photos with it.

Well, my walking around camera broke...  And now I have to use an older cannon.  Never upgraded to a SLR.  :)
