eah, i don't care for the 75-300 mm i don't even use mine; however, it was a gift which could not be returned by the time i recieved it. changing the lenses back and forth is a pain in the butt too. i hope u find a lens that suits you, chris. like i said; i'd love to get 1 of those huge binocular type lenses they use when they take pictures of the awesome surf but i think that's too much money to waste since i don't have a career taking pictures rather it would only be for leisure use and since i'm all leisure, the stock lens is fine. don't forget the filters and caps/covers! you have to try black and white film one day. those are fun to use. good luck and have fun!

Don't bother with none-L lense. Save all your pennies for some nice L lense and you'll be set for life (that's of course if you keep 350D for life). I used to have Tamron and Sigma lense because they were cheap. Though, I finally decide to get a 17-40L and it was AMAZING. My next stop is 70-200L, it would cost an arm and a leg, but I bet it will be worth it.
While we're on this subject. I've posted a FS thread. If anyone or know anyone interested in a D70, I've listed it on ebay.

yeah, i've read up on those two lenses and saw some sample pics. they are absolutely sweet.
There are alot of pictures of 70-200L and 17-40L. Both are two most popular lense in Canon product lines. Check out www.pbase.com and search via lense and you'll se alot of great photos.

L8R said:L seriesman... I need to part out my car to get those! haha. Thanks for the suggestion!
Peace
yeah, the 70-200L f/4L is cheapest L series lens and it's about $600. get the faster f/2.8L version with IS and it's like $1700... dang

28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 Image Stabalizer
I'm happy.
Nice lens! the IS should really help for those low light situations.... take some sample pics plz.
70-200mm f/4L i honestly don't think it's worth it. It doesn't have IS and f number is too high, which I think it would require tripod or monopod.
I've played around with 28-135 and I think it's a great lense for the price. Also, You'll really love the IS. I've heard some people shot those at night w/o using tripod.

i've been reading on some photo forums and alot of people use two main lenses that cover a great range:
24-70mm f/2.8L and the 70-200mm f/2.8L .... apparently these two are the very popular lenses. the IS is optional on the 70-200mm, but also adds alot more to the cost of the lens.
Thanks for your comments guys
I'm learning the functions and I've been to some photography forums also. I want to get an L-series lense soon, but I want to see if I can write off my camera and lense 100% before I do any more spending
Vern, sure, just let me borrow your car... forever (thumb)

Yep. Those are the two most popular lense in Canon product line. Some even preferred 17-40 over 24-70 because 24-70 is quite heavy for walk-around lense. I personally think the IS function is almost a must.
But again, none of them are cheap. What you pay for is what you'll get...- :
