I started shooting 35mm on an Elan 7 and now an EOS 3 and they're nice complements to my other film cameras. So to that end I've found that I can get very acceptable image quality from not-so-expensive lenses since I'm scanning from film instead of shooting on digital.
I've got 3 lenses for the system, a 50mm 1.8 STM, 28-135mm, and a 17-35mm 2.8. I use the 28-135mm when I can only stuff the camera with one lens in the bag (and I can throw the 50mm in a pocket elsewhere too), but there are other times when I can fit a 3 lens kit in the bag with my other stuff.
I've found the long end on the 28-135mm to be fun, but if I take the 17-35 and 50mm then I don't really need the wider focal lengths. So I was wondering if the 70-300mm DO IS USM would be a decent pickup. Seems like it's gotten pretty cheap nowadays, like only $300, and it looks compact and comparable in size to the other lenses I've got. It has IS but it seems a little slow. Have also been reading about sharpness issues but not sure how bad it actually is. Anyone have any experience with this lens? Or should I pass up on it and keep using the 28-135 as my telephoto-ish lens?
