Canon Lenses (by @hellpop)

Now that I have my brand new D90, I'm trying to figure out what lenses to get. 

Though this list is for a Canon body, it's a pretty cool reference.

Here is what I have.  I mostly use the 35mm.  I do kind of want to
sell some lenses too and get other ones instead.  I'd probably let go
of the 85 and 135.


Canon 28-105 f3.5-4.5

Canon 100-300 f4.5-5.6
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/12059-USA/Canon_2565A003_100_300mm_f_4_5_5_6_USM_Autofocus.html

Sigma 70-200

I have a 1.4x teleconverter too which I use often when shooting cars and such.

Lenses I'd like consider getting:

I am looking for a reasonable walk around zoom lens.  The 24-105 might
be a little big though but I'd be ok with it.  L lenses are pretty
expensive too.  Still, out of these, I'd probably get the 24-105L.

Canon 24-105 f4 L IS
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/397662-USA/Canon_0344B002AA_24_105mm_f_4L_IS_USM.html

Canon 17-40 f4
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/279582-USA/Canon_8806A002_17_40mm_f_4L_USM_Lens.html
Some bag on this lens as not being a good range, but for my current
lenses, it could be ok.

Canon 17-55 f2.8 IS
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/425812-USA/Canon_1242B002AA_EF_S_17_55mm_f_2_8_IS.html
This lens is supposedly awesome.  Not an L lens but its expensive
still.  Supposedly L like optics but regular build quality and
housing.

Tamron 28-75 f2.8
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/284399-REG/Tamron_AF09C700_28_75mm_f_2_8_XR_Di.html
I've read this lens is supposedly ok and reasonably priced for a f2.8.
