Canon 28-135mm or 18-135mm?

Which of these is the best lens to purchase for general daily photography?

the 18-135mm for sure, 18 gives you a semi-decent wide angle, and 135 is a nice walk-around daily zoom range.

18-135mm.

The 18-135mm. More modern, better IS than the 28-135 which doesn't cover the wide end very well.

Thanks for the info. Now I'm torn, just read about the 15-85mm!! Decisions decisions!

+1 for 15-85mm. But I would also consider 17-50 Tamron as well - constant f/2.8 aperture.

+1 for 15-85mm, can't beat that for walk around all purpose lens. The only thing better would be 17-55mm, but it cost more and shorter.

15-85 is great if you can afford it; the 18-135 isn't a bad alternative though.

Thanks

Another vote for the Tamron 17-50mm

Didn't I just see this on another thread?
