Hi,,
Welcome to the club.
Maybe you could sell the 28-90 and get the 28-135 IS Zoom, which I have on
my EOS 7E.
It makes very sharp pictures, for a reasonable price, in my opinion.
Of course, the 28-70 f/2.8L is superior, but so are its price and weight.
My next purchase will be either the 20mm or the 20-35; I can't decide
between these two lenses...
Have fun!
