Firsty hello photo people!

Ive just got a second hand Canon 350D on the cheap from my boss and i know absolutely nothing about lenses, i have a bog standard that came with the camera and a sigma 75-300 that doesnt work with auto focus, apparently a well known problem with some of the older sigma lenses.
So im looking for a good/not massively prcied lens, so throw some ideas at me :)

Im also looking to get some experience (i know just go and shoot, will be thrown around a lot) but any specifics would be a great help.

Many thanks

Budget is about £150 for a lens, so i will have a look at that one! may also try and get that one seen to at the local camera shop.

interested in cityscapes/sports mainly, also would like to try some nice pictures of my fish/tank.

I also have a Panasonic lumix dmc fz18 and i got some great photos of the supermoon with it (if i say so myself) and will post a few of those later :)

Its my birthday in a few months aswell, ill get one and put the other on the wish list ;)

Forgive me for the very newbie question i am about to ask.

"is it the lens that makes the photos look so sharp? or are they taken and touched up a bit?"

Im ok with photoshop brushing wise as i did a semester on it at uni, but have never played with the camera side of things, is it an essential?

Many thanks for the replies so far!
 
50mm it is then! see if i can get the 70-300 repaired and if not ill get it replaced for the birthday :) sorted....now to shoot shoot shoooooot!
