Maybe there's a Canon equivalent of a Nikkor 28-80 f3.5-5.6. The kind of thing that's about as light and cheap as you could expect to find whilst still be worth using. Since I use walkaround lenses at f8 for landscapes the speed wouldn't much bother me.

There is- the 24-85 3.5-4.5 VR AF-S. It's modern, but there are no Nikon AF adapters worth buying at the moment.

You are baffling me. You seem to have missed all of the relevant points. You want the lightest and cheap Canon standard zoom don't you. So why mention a $200+ Nikon lens? Dig around for a cheap Canon film kit lens that is actually worthwhile. If Nikon did one that Canon should have responded at some point.
