I'm looking for a general purpose lens. I don't need any extreme macro or zoom. I mostly photograph people, some landscapes, nature, etc. So far, I'm drawn to the Canon EF 28-135mm. What are your thoughts? Are there other lenses that would fit my needs more? I'm wanting to upgrade because I heard that I could get significantly better quality and clarity by using pretty much anything besides the kit lens. I'm on a budget, so as it is, the Canon EF-28-135 is at the top of my price range.
I am not sure where you got your information from, but no professional or amateur who's experienced enough to know what they're talking about lwould ever tell you that the normal lens that comes with your camera is of poorer quality than any of the other Canon camera lens, all other camera handling factors being equal.
Having said that, the 28 135 mm lens is a good choice, and great for taking pictures of people, because it goes from approximately what is considered a normal lens on your camera to about a three power telephoto. If you're taking scenery, however, the wide-angle end of this lens is not very good for scenery pictures where a good wide-angle range is a very nice thing to have.
My advice to you at this minute is before you go out and spend additional bucks for a different lens, practice using the lens you have and using it appropriately with your camera and see what the results from this lens can really give you if you handle everything else properly..
I think you might be pleasantly surprised as to the results you can get.
