I'd keep the 28-135 around. 70-200 on a crop sensor as a walk around... sometimes if you're on a trail, you just can't back up nearly enough. Still, terrific if you've got a little space, or want to get into things that happen to be close.

Good idea!... Also, I'm on a budget, and I was considering the classifieds/craigslist for a used 70-200... when I meet the guy, if I take 10-15 pics, and it "seems ok", is that sufficient? Or could there be hidden problems?
Maybe this is another thread altogether [:)]
Thanks!

Personally, I prefer to buy used if I can find it for 30-50% off the new price, but lenses rarely sell for less than 10% off the cost of buying new, so I don't buy used very often.
I'm a new convert of refurbished...
Though the 100-400 is the only lens I've got that has refurb cred.
Sounds good guys... Thanks again!
Likely buy new at bhphoto.com
Thanks :)
