Why do you think I'm asking about the 17-85 and there just happens to be one on CL?

I e-mailed the guy a few hours ago... no reply yet.

500 to my buddy

Dude, that focal length shines on full frame, my 24-70 is so lackluster on a crop but on my 5D its so perfect.

 

[Fundillo]

yea I really needed a walkaround other than the 50

I was playin with a 35L yesterday and it was unbelievable, I definitely want one really bad

 

[Fundillo]

I just hope the wide end is going to be wide enough for me

The 18-55 IS is better than the 28-135 IS?

Better? Maybe not. Better value? Definitely.

The 28mm wide end is a complete waste on a crop (IMO). And it costs 3x as much for lower image quality. IS and USM and added reach are nice, but if you want a general purpose lens that is sharp, I'd save my money and get the 18-55 IS.

28 on a crop IS useless. My tammy 28-300 sucks all around and I get tired of shooting the nifty all the time.

I'm going to pick up that lens in dinkytown at 11!

Adrian, 24-28mm is pretty dang wide on a full frame like yours, but it might take a little getting used to...

word, its about 18.5mm on a crop and that fulfilled my needs back on my D80
