If you want something that can cover the whole range, then Sigma do some quite
nice superzoom lenses - I've been using an 18-200mm stabilised lens as my
every-day lens on my 60D since 2010. There's a newer (2012-era) 18-250mm lens
that looks better:
https://www.ephotozine.com/article/sigma-18-250mm-f-3-5-6-3-dc-macro-os-hsm-lens-review-19470
costing around £200-£280 - but I'm a bit out of date on the newest lenses...
Thanks,
Mike
