My 17-55mm would I guess be the one I use when going out to take photos, but my true walk-a-round lens would be my 50mm as it's small and light. My D300 with the 50mm on is the same as having a compact for me, great for carrying and snapping.

@Tingerminx - nice combo you got going there.

Seems most people are leaning towards a wider angle lens or at least having the wide angle covered with their zoom length rather than any large zoom lenses.

The reason I was thinking about moving to a longer focal length because I keep feeling I'm too far away from the action. If I get to close the "candidness" (that a word?) if the photo disappears because people can see me and I loose that surprise.

If I'm going somewhere and don't want the faff of taking extra kit then I don't have a walkabout lens, I have a walkabout camera - the Sony R1. A very versatile camera and I am really rather fond of it.....

My Sigma 18-125 is on my camera the most. Excellent quality for the price.
