Ok so I'm having this dilemma of wanting to purchase the 50mm f1.8 and use that in conjunction with my 35mm on vacation in 2 months. I'm thinking of selling my 2 zooms I have now and purchasing the 17-50 f2.8. The only thing that's stopping me is reviews stating that the front element becomes loose after a while and the lens hood does not stay on at all. I'll be the first to admit that when I got my 35mm I freaked out because I thought the lens hood wouldn't stay on until I realized it had to be snapped into place. Other than that I heard its tack sharp image quality. Anyone care to share their thoughts?
