Canon DSLR lens help needed

[r0bb86]

Thanks for the input.

I went to go look at the t1i, just to feel the weight and size to compare to the xti.
Really liked the live view, even though I doubt I'll use it much as I try to stretch my battery life to the max. While I realize a full body has advantages, I do prefer the smaller and lighter to take with everywhere.
Haven't quite decided on it yet, but it just might be time to get one and maybe then venture with a new lens.

I'm not specifically set on only Canon lenses.
Its merely were I started looking as I'm more familiar with their specification abbreviations.
I briefly looked as Sigma and Tamron but got a little confused with their product specifications.

I really couldn't care less what people see me walking around with.
I really just want a quality made product that will last and cater to my needs.

Also, I've never used a f2.8, just figured the extra light could be welcomed in darker situations. Not that has ever really been a major issue in the past.

I didn't even see the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, it almost seems perfect for what I'm looking for and at a great price.

The 24-105 L is a great lens. I have it and love it. 24-70 L is also a great lens, but personally I like the 105 a little better. I like the IS and the F4 is not really an issue 90% of the time.

Look around. You can pick up either for relatively cheap online.
