new walk around lens help?

Tamron 24-135mm, absolutly stunning quality, better built than anything else mentioned here, images are superbly contrasty and sharp across the whole of the frame, probably the cheapest option here as well, a real sleeper of a lens.
 
Tamron 17-50 is a great lens, the fact it's so well priced is the icing on the cake. I bought the VC version first even after reading various reviews saying it was the inferior using the mindset 'well in the real world it can't be that much different'. Man was I wrong, the non VC version (in my findings anyway) is much much better, sharper and better colours plus around £80 or so cheaper.

Still not got down to castle, but has anyone used the nikon 24-85mm? A friend of a friend has one they brought and only used for one trip to the us on holiday ;)

Its a good lens but a tad on the expensive side (£230 ish), forget the f/2.8-f/4 version, its garbage, ive got a good one im selling shortly.

Thats a £700 lens though unless you mean the older 24-120mm f/3.5-f/5.6 VR which is quite poor, build quality is dodgy and QC is poor, theres loads of soft and horrible copies of this lens
 
I no that's what most have said to go for its just as I've got the cash and thinkin of long term if I got the sigma 24-70 2.8 or even a second hand nikon 17-55 2.8 it would go on a ff body along with my nikon 50 1.4 and as we all no goin ff costs a lot so having 2 lens to keep using would b handy?!
 
The Nikkor 17-55mm f2.8 won't work on a FF body for its entire focal range.
