If IS isnt a consideration and cost is, the best cost/quality lens I have found is the Tamron 28-75 2.8 XR DI.

I have a 17-40L and yet the Tamron is nearly always glued to my 20D. I'd love to burn $1k and get the Canon 24-105 F4 L IS, but until then this $350 wonder is my work horse.

Buncha savages in this town.....
I ran outta gas! I had a flat tire! I didn't have enough money for cab fare! My tux didn't come back from the cleaners! An old friend came in from outta town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts!! It wasn't my fault I swear to God!!!
