I sold the 28-105 RS and 28-135, returned another 24-105, and found a nice 28-85. It might not be as good as the 35-105, but it is awfully close. It also focuses about twice as close as the 28-135 and 35-105--closer than the 35-70 too.

Why did You return the 24-105? Was any part inferior to the 28-85? Just interested to know...

It wasn't a good copy. I had tried another 24-105 that was optically pretty good, but it had a broken focal length encoder, so I returned that one too.

This 28-85 definitely has better image quality than that lens anyway. It is better than every full-frame normal zoom I've tried except the 35-105. It should be a good kit zoom for the 600si I just bought.
