At 70mm, I feel that I'm coming up short...

well, then you pair it off with the affordable but good quality EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM. there's also a USM version and a newer EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM but they cost more.

Good point. I could probably just pocket that lens in a small waist pouch or something.

Can I ask you guys what your personally use for literally walking around photography?

i'm still using my trusty kits lens, EF 18-55 my copy is sharp until my thrifty/nifty fifty arrives , btw the EF 70-300 IS is a fine lens too, approaching L glass quality, its around 37k

for work it's been a 300D with the kit lens and the 75-300

for a walk around I just bring my trusty old Sony Cybershot DSC-F717

Hehe yeah i got a pentax s55 i pocket all the time too. You'll never know, hehe.

I guess you're not the type who strolls around with a DSLR for a purse. I wouldn't really do that here too.

I have the 5d/24-105 combo as my walkaround kit. The size and weight of both is the maximum I could bear as walkaround. A couple of months ago I was in Orlando (Disney and Universal) and carried this setup everyday for a whole week without any issues. Prior to this I had the 20d/17-85 as a walkaround kit.

actually I used the 18-55 kit lens. since I was right at the foot of the ramp I didn't need the telephoto... although I had it in a pouch strapped to my belt just in case. iso was 400 with shutter speeds of 40 to 60 @ 5.6 the video crew had a bunch of bright hot lights so I didn't need much actually. just small pop of diffused flash.

with the right lighting, the kit lens is really good, and with PP, who can tell the difference hehe
