    Info New Lense

    Hi folks,

    I have just bought a new Sigma 18 - 200 lense and to be honest it is really good upto about 130 - 140 but after this is looses as lot of its sharpness.

    I am looking at getting a canon one:
    Canon EF 28-135mm 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

    anyone got one or can you recommend a similar lense but good quality?
    If you had to walk a thousand miles, who's shoes would you wear?

    i think any lens with that amount of range isn't going to be brilliant unless its really really expensive. Most people seem to go for a 24-70mm and then a 70-200/300 or thereabouts. Thats what i seem to be doing anyway.

    I like the look of a 28-105 at the moment. May treat myself sometime soon.
