Title: If you must start with ONE lens, this is it!
Review: When selecting a "starter" lens for my new 40D, this lens looked perfect, and it is! The quality is superb (typical of Canon's "L" series), and the zoom range makes it a perfect all-purpose lens. I couldn't see any point in accepting what Canon (or sellers) thought were "starter lenses" if I was buying a good-quality camera body. I strongly suggest NOT wasting your money on a cheapie lens; this is a great "first" lens! I expect it to remain on my camera 90% of the time. Highly recommended.
