It is sad I know, but I'm 34 years old and have never been out of the States (well, I guess you could count Canada and the Bahamas and Grand Cayman, but it really didn't feel like out of the States). This summer I am making my inaugural trip across the pond and will be visiting Turkey (and Greece). I want a photographic record of my visit and I'm afraid that the 70-200 lens I currently favor will not be satisfactory for most photo opportunities. I'm trying to keep costs down, so I was looking at the 17-85 lens as a good walk-around lens. Seeing as how you can get it for ~$450, can anyone tell me their good/bad experiences with this lens (or alternatives that you'd recommend)? Thanks.
