From a wide angle through to a slight telephoto (full frame equivalence of approximately 24-70), it is suitable for almost everything and should (almost) be the starting point for any kit bag. Tackling that list in order, I start with the workhorse the 16-55/F2.8 Of all the lenses, this is the lens that is probably of most use in general purpose photography.
