Hello out there-

My place was recently robbed (or burgled, I guess, is the proper term for it), and my 30D and lenses are now gone. I'm in the process of replacing all of it now--perfect excuse to upgrade to a 40D!. I'm trying to get the fewest amount of quality lenses I can. The lens I previously used the most was my 28-135 IS lens.

I was also thinking about getting the 70-200 IS lens along with a good wide angle. I'm just not sure if the 70-200 will give me as good of Image Quality as the 28-135, because I know that the quality deteriorates when the focal length range is so wide and you're at the end of the spectrum.

Does anyone have any advice who uses both types of lenses consisently?

Mucho appreciated!
