Need advise on a new lens. (to replace kitlens)

[pterps]

I have a small budget to find a lens wich would make a good alternative for my Canon 18-55 mm kitlens. My budget is arround € 200,-

Does anybody have some good experience with a lens wich fits in my budget?

I also have a 75-300 mm lens, wich will be replaced later this year. The quality of the kitlens is so bad IMO, that I really need to replace it.

Hi pterps,

Ok allow me to kick off by saying that you probably do not want to hear what I'm going to say next 8)

If you turn away from genuine Canon glass, which aren't low-budjet (same for Nikkor), I would advise you to get a Sigma.
The lenses which can substitute your kitlens are
1)the Sigma 18-50 mm F2.8 EX DC (465€)
or
2)the Sigma 28-70 F2.8 EX DG which will set you back 355€.
And yet another good alternative might be the
3)Sigma 28-200 mm F3,5 - 5,6 this one kicks in at 190€.
But .... I would advice you to save up so you can go for the 28-70 f2.8. This is a greeeaaat lens according to its price, a continuous f2.8 is always a winner for me.

Cheers

Save up a little for a Tamron 17-50, or just stick with the kitlens untill you can afford something really good.
