Hi all,
I'm new to using a DSLR and recently got a Canon 350D.
I would like to buy a general purpose lens which can shoot just about anything reasonably well as I'm walking around . Just feel that the 18-55mm zoom on the kit lens is a bit limited.
I've read some of the review sites and am considering the following options:
Canon EF-S 17-85MM f/4-5.6 IS USM
Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
I'm also considering those without the Image Stabiliser feature (cos it will much cheaper
What is your experience with the IS feature? Is it worth the extra cost?
Which would you choose and what other lenses would you recommend?
Thanks in advance!
