Default 17-135 IS EFS ???????

Have seen a few rumours that Canon has this lens under development - if so I'd be seriously interested. Anyone have any details??

would be a great walk around for sure...

but sigma has a 18-125IS which is pretty close to this.

This would be the ultimate lens from Canon for the 1.6 crowd.

I own the 28-135IS which is our workhorse walkaround. Great lens but not too wide on a crop body. If Canon revamps it into a 17-135IS, and makes it a bit more consistent, I'll haul out the credit card in a flash.

Would be nice but very doubtfull we'll see any more high grade EF-S lenses, the 17-85 would be pretty obsolete IMO.

Am looking forward to results from the Sigma 18-125 OS HSM though..
