(It's good for head shots and tele). You need a walk around first, then you can think of the 70-200 or a prime lens if you have a particular need (like the onstage photography discussed earlier). For a crop-sensor, I'd really look hard at 35mm rather than 50mm, unless you really need a short portrait-style lens. 35mm on a crop-sensor is closer to what most consider a "normal" lens.

that is true, I find myself using my 16-35mm @ the full 35mm most of the time for walkaround shots on m 40D
