With the 1.6 multiplier factor of my D60, the effective zoom range works out to 38 - 112. This suits my shooting just fine, and the 2.8 f stop for the full range is worth MUCH more to me than the IS ever was. I can open the lens to 2.8, set my ISO to 1000, and shoot in most any dim light situation without flash. I always shoot in RAW, and the Capture One conversion software I use does a very good job of removing digital noise from the high ISO speed. Also, the L lens is TOTALLY silent while focusing, the 28 - 135 is not, though that was never a big concern. Bottom line is, yes, the 28 - 135 IS is a good lens, but the L is a GREAT lens, you really can tell the difference in use, and now that I have finally made the move to L, I will never go back.
