Samuel, your 2cents means allot! I was just looking at the 16-35L you suggested. I hand hold my camera a lot to catch children in action/sports~I guess that's why the IS lens appealed to me, along with having APS-C sensor. I was also looking at the 24-70mm f2.8L, and wondering if it wouldn't be a better place to start? It's cheaper, than the 16-35Land I could sell my 28-135...& use my 70-300 until I can get another toy? or....keep the 28-135 as a designated lens for the future?Don't want to have gaps in my focal lengths unitl I see more of a trend of my fav length for shoots.


Sorry for all the questionsthis is a tough decision for me! It's allot of $ and I want to be smart about it. I forgot to mention I also have the 430 EX11 speedlight, (learning curve with this too).


Thanks so much for you help!
