You're going to get a lot of votes for the 28-135 IS, so I might as well be among the first to suggest it. Good range, relatively compact, fairly sharp, Image Stablization. A good package.


I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

The salesman at my local camera store says that the most popular lens they sell with the 10D is the 28-135 IS. I have one, and it is, as belmondo mentions, a good lens. It also slots right into your budget, and if you are in the USA, there is a $15.00 rebate available.

Hope this helps.

Take a look at the B&H photo website. The 28-135IS is under $400 with the Canon $15 rebate.

Check the Canon website for detailed info on their lenses.

Good move, I think you'll enjoy it on (at least) two fronts - the lens is a good choice, and you picked one of the best online retailers (WooHoo, another victory over the dark side - Ritz!)

Have Fun

May I suggest the Canon 50mm f/1.8 (external link) in addition to the 28-135 ? It's one of the cheapest lens ever, but it's very bright and optically excellent.


Best wishes,
Oleg.
