Q.
Answer
It really depends on what you want to photograph with it. There are many very sharp lenses made by Canon for under $500.
For portraits and the like you can't beat the 50mm F1.4 ($400) or 85mm F1.8 ($400). Even cheaper would be the 50mm F1.8 ($120). All of these are very sharp are great in low light and will give a nice shallow depth of field for portraits.
For sports or something you need a bit more reach with the EFs 55-250mm IS is a very good lens. Cost is $250.
The link below has Canon lenses between $300 and $500. They are all good sharp lenses.

What is a good lens for my Canon Rebel?
Q. I am looking for a lens for my Canon Rebel T3i. I do a lot of action photography of horses jumping outdoors and indoors. (With indoors, I use a flash). I need something telephoto with clear, professional, quality. I plan to do photography at shows--both big and small--and make a profit on the photos. Any ideas? Thank you!
So far, my #1 choice is the EF 70-200 f/2.8 L IS USM.

Answer
The Canon EF 70-300 mm lens is perfect for what you want to do unless if you are shooting under the lights or indoors. Then you will need an EF 300 mm f/2.8
You may want to check with the equine venue to see if you can even use flash... Shooting from fifty feet away from the action pretty much makes flash worthless
