Never did learn my flowers. Not a clue as to what this is.
Mulling over throwing $400 at a good "walk-around" lens. After reading gushing reviews of the Tamron 28-75 f2.8, and realizing the limits of the kit 18-55 I have now... well, I've got a big photo op coming up, and I would hate to lose "that picture" because of the limits of my equipment. Would be a shame.
Decisions, decisions.
