BTW, how would you rate the 28-135 in general ? I just begun my EOS adventure (former Minolta user) acquired EOS-3 with 28-135 for starter, though initially intent to get 28-70/2.8 L USM. Was offered the EOS-3 + 28-135 USM IS for great price so jumped on that opportunity having in mind to sell the lens and get the L one. However, I see people in general praise this lens for it's performance and versatility. What can you say ?

After shooting with my 1V+PB-E2 & 28-135 IS and EX 550 over 11 hours during wedding last summer, I noticed that my hands had really gotten some extra excercise. If you have to shoot all the day often and lift that 3 kg weight, say, 1000 times from your waist up to your face, it makes pretty nice figures of weightlifting in all.
