Hi! I think that 28-135 mm f/4 is the best option because of the range focal length one gets and also the maximum aperture do not change when the lens is zoomed in. This is great advantage. Why? Because, this lens can be used with automatic flash units because one can set the aperture precisely in any focal length. Please notice that the maximum aperture changes in the case of A28-80mm f/3.5-4.5 and therefore flash photography becomes difficult since you never know the aperture when the lens focal length is set between 28 and 80 mm.
Hope it helps. - Ayash.
