Lets start off by saying 17-85IS can only be used on the rebel or 20D, while the 28-135IS is for all EOS cameras.
Alot of people use the 28-135IS, but they don't like it on a 1.6x crop camera. So Canon decided to release the 17-85IS which is the smaller brother of the 28-135IS
ex. 17-85 x 1.6 = 28-135IS
Same lenses. It just depends if you want more wide, or more telephoto

thx mananetwork. i have the rebel. i dont mind the wideness of teh 28 cuz i only use it to take party pictures so i could careless.
i guess in terms of resale value its easier to sell the 28-135 if i decide to.
Now how is the quality on these things? i heard its soft, but some say sharp. can anyone tell me this from exp?

My friend's got a 17-85 and I swear to god he got one of the BEST copies evermade... at 70mm his lens is just as sharp as some L lenses, I kid you not.
It really depends on sample variation and what "copy" you happend to get... if it's good, then it's REALLY good.
Go buy from a store and try out 2 or 3 copies, and get the one that seems to be the sharpest at the focal range that you'll be using the most.

The 28-135 would be a very good walk-around lens. If you got it I think it would rarely leave your camera.
Do IS lenses let you pan?

yes, I believe you have to turn off the is or set it to tripod mode or something.

Do IS lenses let you pan? | Many of them have a mode that'll only stabilize one axis so that the other can blur. I haven't done much panning myself so I can't really verify if it works in full IS mode, but you can always turn IS off if you find it undesirable for the shot you're taking.

70-200 F4L or 70-300 F4-5.6 IS?
I'm sure everybody will say the L lens, and call me a noob, but what is better about the L series vs the non-L?
Depending on where you look, the prices aren't too far apart.

Bonjourma listed your basic options if you want wide.
And to answer your question: 14mm is pretty close to as wide as you can go and be rectilinear. The 6mm Senna mentioned is a circular fisheye, which means it doesn't fill a frame.

i reallly think either buy the 70-200mm f4 or the IS
the f2.8 is so heavy...it'd be hard to use without IS
saying this because i used an IS two weeks ago shooting a music concert
the pics are so damn sharp
i was at about 30 feet (?) away...take shots at 200mm f2.8
and u can still see single hairs on the pictures.
everyone needs a 70-200mm f2.8 IS!!!
well, if u can't buy it, at least rent it for $35!!!

I have a 70mm~210mm f2.8, but I get a lot of CA on my 7D. Super sharp on film, though.
