WOW !!!! Sounds like an easy question but it's not. Putting all lenses in one category from a particular manufacturer does not work. (good/bad).
I can only share you my experience.
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Had it did not like it. You can pick a used one up for $50
Canon 28 to 105.. It not a bad lens at all. Used goes for about 160
Sigma 70 to 300 ..Again not a bad lens buit I found it not to focus fast
Canon 28 to 135 IS..Personally I did not like it but they are quite a few people who do. You can get a used one for about 260 and new for 315.
I have the 70 to 200 F4 L... SWEET !!!!!!! lens..fast focus..great color. About 550 new
I have very happy with the tamron 28 to 75.. great lens ..highly regarded and priced right
I have the Sigma 10-22 This fill in my wide angle.. Another nice lens
I also have the Canon 85 1.8.. Another nice Canon lens.. Sharp and fast
I can get by without IS but thats just me.
On a budget, you can get a new 40D using microsift live and get 6% cash back. $816 for a new 40D free shipping.. Leaves you some extra cash for a nice lens.
I would go for a used Tammy 17 to 50 on the Canon forum and the back it up with a new 55 to 200 IS later on![]()
