Is the $400 Tamron AF17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II a possibility? Or, you could just keep saving for the $1000 EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM. Pick up the "nifty fifty" $85 EF 50mm f/1.8 II to keep you occupied?
I don't really know much about Tamron other than the fact the focus and zoom are backwards from Canon (from what I have read). I will definitely be getting the "nifty fifty", but want a walkaround lens for when I go to Italy in a few months. I want something a little nicer than the kit lens, but am saving for the Italy trip at the same time - with the value of the dollar these days, it looks like I will need to save quite a bit to convert to Euros. I will probably get the new 18-55mm. The other part of my lense budget is going to one of the 70-200mm L lenses at the end of the year once I decide which one.
