    Question 18-135 or 17-85mm Lens for Canon T3i?

    Hey Guys n Gals,

    I have a Canon T3i and the standard 18-50mm lens which is damaged, I also have a fixed 50mm 1.8 lens.

    After looking around online for reviews etc the most recommended lenses for the T3i seemed to be 18-135mm and 17-85mm with the later getting better reviews.

    I need a good all aorund lens for taking mostly car pics and some travel pics. But Mostly car shots. It shouldnt cost an arm and a leg either. If you had a choice of one of the above lenses which one would you choose and recommend.Thanks Guys.

    I picked up an 18-135 a few weeks ago and I'm pretty happy with it for a walk-around lens. I used it at a car show yesterday and it was really nice to just need one lens.
