28-135mm vs. 18-200mm EF-S IS Lens ??
Posted by admin | Under Canon EOS 50D Digital SLR Monday Oct 26, 2009im thinking about purchasing the Canon EOS 50D SLR Digital Camera
i want to get the kit. but is it worth it for $385 more to get the 18-200mm EF-S IS Lens than the 28-135mm….??
Need advice.
THANKS 
My DSLR is a Nikon, and I have the AF-S 18-200mm VR. The versatility of that 11X zoom can be good to have, but there are compromises in image quality. I can see that with my 10 MP D60, and I would expect that kind of thing would be even more noticeable with the 15 MP 50D. Canon has just released an 18-135mm IS lens that might be worth considering.

The 18-200 mm is a much better lenses as a single lens for your camera. It is a slightly wide angle to telephoto. The 28-135 mm has much less zoom range than the 18-200 mm .. just look at the starting and ending points of each. Add the image stabilization and the 18-200 mm is the best choice
You would find the 28-135 mm far too restrictive. the lens was really designed for 35 mm SLR or full frame digital like the 1D or 5D camera

Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Standard Zoom Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras is better choice
