there is a Sigma 18-125 lens in the EOS mount. I know nothing about it
so no claims to quality or other. The price seems pretty cheap at $450
canadian.
I am not buying any EF-S mount lens or any thing that won't work on a
full frame camera personally. My 300d will be replaced by something
full frame (oh how I want a 5D) and my investment is more in glass than
in light proof bodies. Why limit myself in the future? That said the
aforementioned 18-125 would be nice to have, but I make do with a
28-105 and the 18-55 is so light that it isn't a pain to carry two
lenses. The 70-210f2.8 lens is a much different story!

Hi
Normally I would also agree with 28-135 IS option (it's a very good
lens). Did
you know that Canon just announced a 24-105 f4 L lens with IS? The
new lens is
one of the 'L' series (Canons Pro lens series) and should be much
better than
the 28-135 (plus it's f4 instead of f5.6 at the tele end).

Hello,
Thanks for the information about 24-105, I didn't know about it. But
since it's a
L series it's probably way out of my budget to buy a lens.
And is IS really that good? I've read it can improve up to 2 stops. I
never
tried it but I'm not very convinced of it.
About the Canon's 28-135 I was getting convinced with what Bob has
told me (and you
also agree) and with the reviews I was reading about that lens.
Although someone on
a review came up with something I hadn't thought of since this one is
a "regular" lens
and not a DC one (when I say regular I mean it can be mounted on a
film camera also)
I'll have the 1.6x factor on my eos 300D making the lens a 44-216...
Maybe that's not wide enough, I use my 18-55mm a lot. I'm getting 2nd
thoughs now,
it's still better than my 55-200mm, but what I really wanted was a
lens that wouldn't
make me to change lens all the time.
