Hello all,

I have the 28-135mm IS but I am noticing that more often my pictures are not in focus and the IS doesn't turn on anymore either. I have taken it all over the world and it has been banged about pretty good a few times and it has been exposed to all kinds of weather. Before I repair/replace the lens, I thought I would find out what other people are using.

I am looking for something with a decent range so I can minimize weight in my daypack by not carrying multiple lenses. I have a wide-angle that I usually carry with me so if anything I'd rather have more telephoto than wide. It also needs to be fairly durable since it is going to get a lot of use hiking/traveling.

I have read good reviews of the 24-105mm but several that say, while the 24-105mm is good, they think the 28-135mm is better.

Thanks!

24-70 II no doubt, but that is $$$ and somewhat heavy

well no doubt unless you need IS at times
