Ok, I've got this on my mind.. maybe someone here can push me into the right direction.

My main thing is to make portraits, not neccasary fullbody.
I've got a 50mm 1.8 right now, and trying to sell my 75-300 & 18-55
which I barely use.

At first I wanted to have a Linkstar flashkit 500Watt.
But, since I don't have mega space I was thinking about 300Watt
and then getting a new lens, but i'm not sure which of these two i had in mind.

Canon EF 28-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS USM ø 72mm - 429,00 €
Canon EF 28-105mm F3.5-4.5 USM II ø 58mm - 249,00 €

please.. can some help or give me advice?

Thanks :)

if you're going to be using studio lights i wouldn't see the need for the IS. 100mm on a 1.6 crop camera is a bit tight in a small studio if you ask me.

i'd consider this one as well. sigma 28-70 f:2.8 EX DG $349 shallow DOF would be on my mind, as well as a fixed aperture through the zoom range. this one will acheive both for pretty cheap. though the zoom is a bit less than the 100mm you have posted. compare that to canons 24-70 f:2.8 L USM at $1100
