Hi Gary, I agree. The 17-85 has a newer generation Image Stabilizer that settles very quickly, unlike the second or so that was needed for the 28-135. Besides, the normal failings of such a zoom lens shot on film can be simply overcome with digital manipulation in RAW conversion. Failings such as light falloff, colour cast, and even chromatic aberration can be adjusted by tweaking a slider on the computer.
