these threads get made almost everyday

Tokina 11-17 : wideangle

Tokina 10-17 : fisheye

Canon 70-200 : telephoto

Canon 24-105 : all around

Canon 50 1.8 : a prime with nice depth

just to name a few to consider.

Tamron 17-50 is very popular.
Everyone on here says that non Vibration Compensation version is sharper, but I don't know the truth to that.

But either way it's a great lens.

we should probably just sticky this list.

i dunno about the zoom fisheye though. Go with either the 8mm bower/samyang/etc

all of these are super nice, unfortunatley theyre also pricey, but thats camera gear for you, just ask seantom haha.  i have to 50mm 1.8 and i love it, check WidespreadMedia's last edit, thats mine, it was all shot with that lens and the t2i
