Hello,
I have the DReb Kit and now have some money($300) to purchase a second lens. Any suggestions? If it helps I take "general" type photo's, but a lot of my dog in action. I was thinking of a "SIGMA LENS 28-300mm f3.5-6.3 DL Aspherical IF Hyperzoom SLR Camera Lens" or "Sigma 28-135mm F3.8-5.6 Aspherical IF Macro Lens for Canon-AF Camera". Any opinions or any experience with these lenses?

Thanks,
Reggie

The 28-300 Sigma can be found for under $250.00

For the price and versatility is a nice lens to have.

If you are thiunking about a 28-135mm... spend a little more and get the Canon 28-135mm "IS" lens. It will be worth the extra $150.00 or so.

I heard that Tamron 24-135mm F3.5/5.6 is also very good.

And you can also check the new Sigma 24-135mm F2.8/4.5 as well.
