No, just own a lot of Canon glass. The lenses I use most are:Uwe, you seem to enjoy this little camera a lot. Did you ever used it with other lenses than Canon ?
I am not a friend of super zooms like 18-200mm and also don't like variable apertures a lot. I would take the 24-105mm f/4 IS.I was thinking about the 18-200mm but from what I've seen its pretty average. The 24-105 L lens seems very sharp with good colour so I'm leaning towards it.

24-105L is a great lens, but not very wide on 550D. If you plan to shoot cityscapes and large buildings you'll probably need something wider. Two people I know have the 15-85IS lens and are happy with it. 17-55IS is "brighter" (has a larger aperture) and is highly regarded. Or you could combine 24-105L with an ultrawide zoom, for example Canon 10-22, Sigma 10-20 or Tokina 11-16.Thanks for sharing Uwe, I currently have the Panasonic G1 but I'm considering buying one to take with me to Shang Hai and Hong Kong this September to shoot the cities at night and it looks very promising at high ISO's.
At the moment I'll probably buy one but I'm just waiting to see what the rumoured Sony turn out to be like.
May I ask which Canon lens you would recommend as an everyday, walk around lens? (I have no knowledge about canon lol) I was thinking about the 18-200mm but from what I've seen its pretty average. The 24-105 L lens seems very sharp with good colour so I'm leaning towards it.

You have posted some very good photos in this thread. The T2i looks like a great little camera. However, I think you could create engaging photos with a disposable camera.
