Tim I recomend this lens as a cheaper alterative to a L series lens
I have used this lens on my D30 and my EOS3 it works just as well on both ,
but if you have $1000 coming in shortly the L series is the better lens by far i have seen the quality difference between the 28-135 IS and a 70-200L IS
a much dearer lens but more much better quality by miles. I have a 2nd hand 20-35 L wide and the image improvement has to be seen to be believed.
My advice as I have been in the same position as you save up and get the best glass first, may take longer but the results will speak for themselves.
