Thanks, but my 18-200 lens is only two ounces heavier than a 28-135mm, I've got tons better wide angle and at least 60% more reach with the one I use, and I very often find that I'm wanting to reach out farther than the 200mm gives me when shooting outdoors. If I were going to change lenses I'd probably lean towards something that's got a constant f-stop (like 2.8) across the entire range to enhance the light gathering, and likely push out to 300mm or so. But before I did that I'd probably look at shifting over to full frame digital, which is a whole new ball game.
