So, here is my 'problem' and I would be interested to know your opinion: when I bought my 500D a couple of years ago it came with the above mentioned lens. Although it isn't bad it has no IS and I don't seem to be able to get a really sharp picture when hand held. I know it is probably due to technique but I have sought much advice and followed it but to very little improvement. So, do I just buy the IS version of the same lens or should I go for one of the other 'Walkabout' lenses available. As I will have to save for anything other than the IS version of my kit lens, I don't want to waste my time or money on something half-baked. I was looking at the full frame Tamron 24 - 70mm which got good reviews. I would like to know what you think about other alternatives, they don't necessarily have to be from Canon. Thanks.
