<p>I might get laughed at, but my favorite walk around lens is the Canon 18-135mm IS 3.5-5.6. It is the perfect range for just about everything...wide and has enough zoom to get in tight when needed. It doesn't have the fastest aperture but does hold its own especially considering it has the newest IS (4 stops). When I need something faster I toss on the primes, but 90% of my shots are taken with this baby. It doesn't have USM but the focus is still very fast and spot on (I'd say 98% as good/fast as a USM). The best part...you can pick up a refurbished one for under $300! </p>
