My thoughts on the 28-105: Wonderful lens, used it to take my family portraits (with monopod and flash) with surprising results. Very compact, lens hood was easy to find and use. Common filter size of 58mm is a godsend. If you can't afford the 28-135, don't hesitate on this one. If money IS NOT as issue, however: Go for that 28-135!!! Even if it's not the prettiest or sturdiest, it has more reach and Image Stabalizer, which is Amazing!!!

There is more than one 28-105. I believe the 28-105IIUSM is the better one. A reputable camera store will tell you the differences. I have the 28-135IS and WOW! I couldn't afford to go 2.8 either. I haven't really had any problems. I was already used to 3.5-4.5. The extra zoom has been amazing. You would be surprised how just a little more zoom can make all the difference sometimes. The IS can be huge in low light situations when a tripod isn't available. Just make sure you don't push that shutter speed too far.
