		just like it says, im looking for a good lens i can use often.
 
 Im considering the 28-75 2.8, but thats a little more than the $300 i wanted to spend. Just wondering if anyone else has a better idea. |

		I've got the 28/75  f2.8 Minolta on my Sony 100. Best decision I made. Bite the Bullet and Buy, you wont regret it, the 2.8 is worth every penny.
 
 I use mine 90% of the time,covers me for most of what I want to do.

		Personallay I'd save a little more and get the CA$500 sigma 18-50 2.8 or tamron 17-50 2.8 (or alternatively try to get them second hand from a reliable source)
 
 you're going to miss the extra angle with the 28-75 on a 1.6x crop factor camera like the 350D

		| I have a pristine Tamron 24-135 for Canon.  Its only 6 months old (I'm the original owner).  I'm selling it for $260 plus shipping.  Its a very sharp lens and in perfect condition.  Check my listing in the Buy/Sell forum.  Its range makes it an excellent walkaround lens. |
