Yes, I agree; I do need something wider than 28. Thank you for the 15-85 tip. I've read about it and I plan to get it for my standard walkabout lens when I can gather the funds. Do you think an EF-S 18-55 would be reasonable for the interim or should I go with the 18-135? I don't need much telephoto capability - I just want a reasonably good lens to use until I can afford to buy the 15-85.

For general purpose I also advise the 15-85 as long the light you're shoot in allows it.

Why no cheap as chips 18-55 IS till the funds allow to upgrade it?

In the long run a 15-85 + 70-200 (the f4 L is very cheap regarding it's performance). For low light a wide prime like a 28,30,35 or 50 f2 or lower.
