Are you buying the 40D with the 28-135 kit lens or not? I was just wondering how many of you are spending the extra $200 for this lens considering it sells for just under $400 by itself?

I guess it depends on if the individual needs the lens or not and can live with it's quality level if it is needed... http://www.flickr.com/photos/district_history_fan/

SuzyView Cream of the Crop  More info | Aug 31, 2007 13:01 | #8 Absolutely not wrong. It's your lens once you buy it. If you don't plan to sell the 40D for about 6 months or more, sell the lens. If you don't know if you want to return it or not, keep it for 30 days. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!

SuzyView Cream of the Crop More info | Aug 31, 2007 13:13 | #10 It costs around $300+ alone. And really, it's an okay lens. The range is great. But it can't be taken completely seriously for much pro work. I used it for about a year, but then got the 24-70. Now that is WOW! Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!
