By the way, does anyone know why they changed the kit lens from the 28-135 IS, to the the 17-85? Does the 17-85 have IS? I bought my kit about 1-1/2 months ago and all they offered was the 28-135. . A number of kits were introduced, and availability varies depending on where you are. The 17-85 is indeed an IS lens and a very nice one at that. Highly recommended.
