Re: All ¨L¨ Lenses in One Package.

Note that I mentioned ISO purely in response to the OP's statement:

I was a little disappointed using it at high ISO... it doesn't look ¨too¨ sharp as I expected to be an L lens of this price tag

I agree - other than the fact that a "slower" lens may force you to use a higher ISO, ISO has nothing to do with the lens discussion.

Secondly, I was in no way saying anything against the 28-300 lens - even though it is not a lens I would chose.

I have three lenses that cover the mid length to telephoto range: 55-250 STM, 70-200 f2.8L IS, and the 70-300 Nano. I have the size and weight isn't an issue, I would always take the 70-200, but often those are issues and so I use the 55-250 (with a crop body) or the 70-300 (with a FF body) more frequently than the big beige lens. On the other hand, I also have an 18-135 STM lens and that, with an SL1 body, is my choice when I am traveling light.
Now, if I had unlimited funds for lenses then I might consider the 28-300 too. But it is not something I would normally select given other options.
