I'm very new to DSLRs and after much research just picked up a Canon Rebel XTi body and a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens. I am now looking to buy a second lens.
I was originally considering the much-recommended Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 XR Di LD, but decided I want to shoot wider than 28mm.
I'm now thinking the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM is my best bet, but I haven't heard much talk about it in the forums. It's definitely at the upper end of my price range, so I was looking for anyone's personal experiences with it and whether it would be a good investment.
Recommendations? Other lenses? Thanks
