Thanks, I'll look at those. I just discovered that there are a lot of Canon EF 28-135 used lenses available. It got fairly good reviews when it was new. I don't want to spend a fortune.
By all means, get the 28-135. It's a great lens. I have one that's probably 20 years old and still working perfectly. It's VERY sharp.

Thanks - I learned something new today since I had never heard of Canandaigua, even though I have visited the Finger Lakes.

Canandaigua is my home town! Not on topic but... On topic, why not third party? Tamron has a couple of full frame 28-300 lenses that while not stellar are reasonable sharp. All are comparable to the 18-135. Decent for a walk about lens.

You are right. I was actually quite surprised about the 28-300 Canon lens pricing and that they have no 24-120 lens and your info about the quality of the 24-105 lenses. It seems the best choice for the op would be to continue with Aps-c cameras or switch brands if full frame and zoom lens combo is a must.
An option could be the Tamron 28-300 lens. The price is good, I have no idea about the quality.

I have a Tamron 28-300 FF. It's quality is not Canon L by any means, but it takes very nice and quite sharp photos IMHO. Perhaps a little soft at 300, but for my purposes fine for the most part. I have enjoyed this lens and used it quite often for the past 7 years or so on a Canon 60D, APS-C.

We have gone through this hundreds of times. The focal length does not change only the field of view.

I lived there until my mid 20's, then spent some time travelling the US before ending up in Florida for about ten years. Then moved back and then to my home now which is in the Adirondack Mountains of NY. The city pier and thousands of points around the lake. Also many places to shoot farm shots.

I also have Canon 55-250mm, but I seldom use it.
The Adirondack Mountains is a wonderful area, but a bit harsh for us. The Finger Lakes is a good fit. I like to frequent the state parks - Taughannock Falls, Watkins Glen, Letchworth, Robert Treman, Chimney Bluffs.

I too have the same Minolta Rokkor lens left over from my film days. I bought an Fotodiox adapter to use them on my 7d and 7d II with great results.Got to love that old glass.
