Other than the 17-55? I don't consider the 17-55 to be an option because it's big, heavy, and expensive which sort of goes against the philosophy of DX.

They need one in the $600-900 range.

It's big, heavy, and expensive because it's an f/2.8 zoom.

There is no philosophy of DX (certainly not when DX was conceived) - DX came about because FX sensors were simply too expensive and difficult to make in the beginning.
