The Sigma 17-50 gives a very good account of itself throughout its range. You should be able to get one used for $400 or so. Decent bokeh, too.

For a cheap prime, you can hardly beat the 40Micro, which has gorgeous bokeh and is razor sharp edge to edge near or far, unlike the 351.8.
That 40Micro sounds awesome. I think that has to be added at least to my wish list, no matter what else I do. Has everything on my 'preferred' list (metal mount, manual focus override, etc.). Sounds like it'd make a great walk around lens, if I wasn't going to use a zoom.
And thanks everyone, for the list of alternative zooms. I'm going to play some more with the 18-70, and read up on all of those as well.
Of course, any other ideas or merits/disadvantages of those lenses are more than welcome?
