Im looking to purchase a new lens for my Rebel XT to replace the kit one.
I've never purchased one before and i was wondering what other people have purchased for theirs.
Im looking for the best performance:cost ratio i can get.

The 18-55mm that came as your kit lens is NOT the same as the 50mm f/1.8! Do you know *anything* about your camera or lens?!

I'm trying to look at some not *too* expensive lenses for a similiar range for the xt as well.

here are some I've come up with that I feel all have very good pros and only a few cons.

sigma 24-70mm F2.8 EX

Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8

Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC IF
