But it's not a good length for general use.


That probably depends on your shooting style.

Me, I tend to use the tele end, so a fast 50 (on crop) suits me
well enough for really low light shooting. Could be longer
sometimes, could be shorter sometimes, could have IS. :-

Ideally a 28mm Canon or 30mm Sigma


If you want the 'normal' field of view.

Didn't reporters gravitate towards 35mm (on full frame, i.e. ~22mm
on crop)? Couldn't a case be made that that was then a good
length for general use?
