28-300 IS lens - worth it? in Canon EOS Mount Posted June 2, 2006 I have a truckload of lenses, both fixed focal and zoom, but typically when outand about need a focal range of somewhere between 50 and 300mm (maybe 200 woulddo). I am thinking of getting the 28-300mm L IS lens, because it gives me therange I need. But will it be good enough in terms of sharpness? Would I bebetter off getting the 70-200 2.8 IS? Not ideal in focal range, but maybe Icould live with it... Still, I would prefer the 28-300 if the image quality willstand up to reasonable - if not excessive - scrutiny. Mainly I take landscapes, archtecture and portraits, and some indoor shots. Any advice? Thanks!
