When it’s in manual mode, it also works and takes pictures, but again, only when zoomed at 30mm. Can’…

I have a Canon T2i with no lens. I found a Canon EF 28-90mm for cheap (like $30). Would this lens work with my Canon T2i and be good quality for street photography or would it not be compatible?

I just want a good lens to go with this Canon T2i body that a family member gave to me because they no longer needed it. Would a Canon EF 28-90mm lens suff…
