Quantaray - Zoom Lens - 19 Mm - 35 Mm - F/3.5-4.5

Cons: Its not fancy looking, shots are not consistently good, lots of bad reviews Pros: Nice vibrant colors, cheap (paid $65), cheap wide angle. Well kept secret, like Canon 50mm 1.8 II...

If you're on a budget, Quantaray is a great alternative to Canon lenses. I've taken great pictures with this lens.
