Less range, faster lens (F2.8), and generally better image quality. Professional wedding photographer, solution architect and general technical guy with multiple Amazon Web Services certifications.

antaine Member  204 posts Joined Sep 2004 Location: Ireland More info | May 30, 2005 04:08 | #4 Sorry about this, but what about the Tamron 28-75. I spent weeks searching the net for comparisions and reviews of the 28-75 and the Canon 28-135 and settled on the Tamron - and I am very happy with it. A constant 2.8 also. Remember the 17-85 is on of those EFS that only work on 20D/300-350D so resale might be affected. Canon: 10D, 17-40L, 300L/f4 and 550EX

I mainly shoot for car magazines.... so the wide angle of the 17-85 is good... but what about focusing and quality though???? 1dmk3, 1dmk4 - 2 x 70-200 f2.8 IS, 16-35 f2.8, 17-40 f4, 300mm 2.8, 28-80 f2.8, Cybersyncs, 2 x 580 ex2

The 28-135 is an older IS system, given the 17-85 is newer I guess it's a newer generation and prob works better. I've heard many wedding photographers, Bob included, who say if they could only have one lens they'd have the 28-135.
