    perfect thread for a quick question.
    I am about to purchase a EOS 40D kit. I found the kit with two options for lenses. Option on is the EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM for $1664.95. Option 2 is the EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM for $1329.95. It option 1 really that much better of a lens? Or should I just buy the body and get a lens separate?

    • did you just hijacked my thread?Meeklo
    • I never buy kits. Variable aperture lenses piss me off.ismith
    • sorry meeklo, i just thought it was a good forum to add to.capn_ron
    • the 17-85 is a good lens, and you get it pretty cheap for what its worth retail in the kit. my advice would be to sell it straight up and get a 17-40mm Lforcetwelve
    • 17-85 is a brilliant all round lens - highly recommend it. It's quality and unlike the usual throwaway 'kit' lenses.bananaman
