17-40 f4 L fits that bill...I'd love that Canon lens, but if you can't find it cheap enough somewhere and want other suggestions, I've been happy with my Sigma 17-50mm.

If you need to still shave off some bucks or want an even wider angle lens, this one may work.

I don't own the 10-20mm lens, but I've been happy with my Sigma lens. Disclaimer: There are a lot better photographers on here, so take what I say with a grain or two of salt. I'd definitely see if you can find the Canon 17-40 somewhere at a doable price.

How about EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS? It's 499 at amazonI have this lens and it is not bad, but for the money a used 17-40 f4 would be much better.

My EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS is good.Yes that is a great lens, but more $ than he was wanting to spend

My EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS is good.I like mine as well but its about twice his budget. The speed (f/2.8 ) of the 17-55 is always nice but expensive and only compatible with crop sensor cameras, which may be a concern down the road if changing to full frame. Although if purchased used you would likely be able to sell it a couple years later for the same price you bought it for. Stick with Canon glass, there is a reason why it costs more than cheaper brands. :twocents:
That Canon 10-22mm is a fun little lens as well. :tup:
First two are with a Canon 17-55mm 2.8 and the last one is with the Canon 10-22mm

Tamron also makes a very good 17-50 that is a great lens for the money. Takes shots as nice as my L lens & they are reasonably priced. So if you don't want to break the bank, you might want to try one. Kenmore Camera is where I got mine.
