Personally, I would like to see the Tamron 28-75mm being reviewed because I will be getting a Canon Rebel XTi and an well rounded lens that will stay on my XTi 90% of the time.

Maybe we could use a separate section for (D)SLR cameras- Just a thought.

I really do have a good feeling about this website though.

Great review on the XTi, nice video. Thank you, and keep it up guys!!

Hi Billy, welcome to the Cameralabs forums!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found the review useful...

Look out soon for a roundup of general purpose Canon lenses for the 400D / XTi...

If you're after a longer range though, consider the Tamron or Sigma 18-200mm models. Fitted to the 400D / XTi, they'll deliver an equivalent range of 29-320mm.

See http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Tamron18200mm/ for a full review of the Tamron against the Sigma 18-200s.

The 28-75mm lens you mention will deliver an effective range of 45-120mm, so won't offer any wide angle coverage.

I'd also recommend waiting a couple of weeks, as there may be some new lens announcements for the Photokina show in Germany.
