So I have decided on what I would like to get next. A SP AF28-75MM F/2.8 XR Di LD aspherical lens. This will perfectly compliment the Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM lens, the Quantaray 70-300mm F4-5.6 LDO macro and my Canon 50mm F1.8 II lens. I do still have the kit lens, which is a 18-55mm and a whole set of filters and even a 48mm fisheye adapter. If anyone is interested, just let me know, otherwise I'm just going to sell it on eBay.

Product Overview

Di: Digitally Integrated Design, is a designation Tamron puts on lenses featuring optical systems designed to meet the performance characteristics of digital SLR cameras.

The most compact and lightest in the history of fast zoom lenses. Thanks to the revolutionary downsizing "XR" technology employed by Tamron in the development of high-power zoom lenses such as the 28-200mm and 28-300mm, the dramatic compactness that makes this lens the world's smallest and lightest is achieved. Its compactness makes it look and feel like an ordinary standard zoom lens, yet the versatility that a fast constant maximum aperture offers will definitely reshape your photographic horizons.

I may start doing weekend weddings this summer to try and pay for all these new toys. Let me know if you need a photographer!
