Get the 24-85 F3.5-4.5 lens instead of the 28-135IS.

I'm pleased to say that I bought my EOS-10D and 24-85 F3.5-4.5 earlier today. When I went into the shop to buy them I was sit undecided on which lense to buy.

My choice was force, because they didn't have a 28-135 in stock...

...I was already leaning towards the 24-85 anyway, as it covers the same range that I am used to. I also tried the Sigma 16-35, but the auto focus was just so much faster on the Canon.

I have to say that the 10D is possibly the most desirable bit of kit I have ever owned. I think it is the first thing to eclipse the empeg MK2 in sheer well built, well designed solidness. Gorgeous...

P.S. why do sales people feel the need to try and sell a product to you even when you have told them you are going to buy it ?
