The 12-24 is a fine lens but I feel a bit pricey for what it is - plastic. It feels to be a little better constructed than the 16-45, but only a little.
With my two, in the area's that they overlap (16 - 24) there is very little, if anything, to choose between them in terms of IQ

Some very useful information there guys...thanks for that. Its a bit of a gamble trying to guess which way the £/Euro exchange rate is going to go. If I had to jump I think the Euro will weaken a bit more maybe down to 1.45/1.46 over the next 2-3 months. It could even drop to about 1.50 to the £ if the Greek stalemate doesn't get resolved. Good news for UK purchasers of goods and services from the EU.

There are no fees overseas on HALIFAX Clarity Mastercard credit cards either, although bizarrely there are on their debit cards. I suggested the currency card as you can lock in when a good rate usually 2 cents below the average that day trading.

I took one out well over 10 years ago and use it exclusively for my annual summer holidays in France and Christmas shopping aboard.
