FYI...
This website may be something that you want to look at. Many people say the 17-85IS does a pretty good job and provides them with adequate photographs. If I may be so bold and make this statement....If it was me I would try my best to stretch my funds out and get the canon 17-55IS. L quality glass and can be had right now for less than $900. They compare the IQ, color and saturation of this lense to be equal to the big L's, the 24-70 and the 24-105IS. I would consider it an investment....Canon lenses hold their value real well. Just my $.02.
Website...POTN
This website have provided me with a TON of information and has given me directions to good deals on quality items.
good luck!!
John

28 isn't wide on a canon crop body. in fact, it's about as normal as you can get (a normal lens on a canon crop body would be 26.7 mm).Originally posted by: rudder

I've got the tamron 28-75 f/2.8 and is an awesome lens as well. Very sharp. I've got 12-24 covered with another lens and some people like a little wider than 28mm. But I find this range very useful.
