Does Canon have lenses at about the same price range as the EF-S 17-85mm F4.0-5.6 IS USM but of faster speed? f/2.8 or so?

I'd take a faster speed lens over an IS-enabled but slower lens anytime. IS can't compensate for moving subjects, and cannot make up for the lack of shallow DOF (if you need it for artistic effects) a naturally larger aperture lens gives.

Any other lens is better than a kit lens...

You can get the EFS 17-55 f2.8 IS or you want cheap 3rd party lens but a bit soft (real testimonial from 2 guys) Tamron 17-50 F2.8

why is it not compatible? they're called 3rd party lens manufacturer. why not. just that when you buy, ask for Canon mount.

I know it can fit in.

A pro photographer once told me if buy lens get the Canon not 3rd party lens as both will not perform well together even it fit well together.

But, I see nice pics taken from 3rd party lens unsure.gif

Obviously it's advisable to get Canon lens. it's all down to your budget.
heck, i'd get the 17-55 F2.8 IS instead of the T1750 f2.8

To meet user demands for a fast EF-S zoom lens, Canon has specially designed a new lens with a large aperture of f/2.8 for select Canon Digital SLR cameras.* The large circular aperture produces a shallow depth-of-field, creating background blur that draws attention to the photographic subject. The lens construction includes UD and aspherical elements, which deliver impressive image quality throughout the entire zoom range. Image Stabilizer lens groups shift to compensate for camera movement so that the image appears steady on the image plane, ensuring clear, crisp images, even in dim light. With a Ring-type USM, inner focusing and new AF algorithms, this lens achieves autofocus quickly and quietly, and with full-time mechanical manual focusing, manually adjusting the focus is possible even in AF mode.

Focal Length & Maximum Aperture: 17-55mm 1:2.8

Lens Construction: 19 elements in 12 groups

Diagonal Angle of View: 78°30' - 27°50'

Focus Adjustment: AF with full-time manual

Closest Focusing Distance: 1.15 ft. / 0.35m

Zoom System: 5-group helical zoom (front group moves: 27mm)

Filter Size: 77mm

Max. Diameter x Length, Weight: 3.3 in. x 4.4 in., 22.8 oz. / 83.5mm x 110.6mm, 645g (lens only)
