I keep forgetting about the 1.6x on the 10D\20D\30D. When I owned my 10D, my favorite lens was 17-35mm, then the 28-135mm.

Have you held both a Nikon and Canon? The feel, weight, controls, and viewfinder are things to consider.


Oh yes, and the Nikons win on pretty much all points, with allowances for different hand sizes among users.

I've been a photographer for over 30 years now, and went 100% digital in 1998. I'm currently using a 20D, with an assortment of nine Canon EF lenses at present.

I did own/use the 28-135 back with my old D60, but never really liked it on the short end. The EF24-85mm was a much better lens for that camera. The newer 17-85 is tailor made for the 1.6X series, and has much more effective IS.

When I first decided on Canon, Nikon wasn't even a serious player in DSLRs and suitable lenses. Now they are, but I'm kinda locked-in to Canon at this point on the lens side.
