Hi Steve, I've owned both lenses for a couple of years now and they are both great. I shoot a lot for motoring mags and the 28-70 gets used a lot for these articles, mainly due to the faster AF and potential for slightly sharper slides for critical colour reproduction work. Other than this, I use the 28-135 as a general purpose lens because of it's better focal range and light weight. I have used it for magazine reproduction occassionally work without any problem. The 28-135 is my pick as the best value for money Canon lens and my choice if I could only take a single lens. I bought it as part of my working kit when I changed to Canon and couldn't get the 28-70 in time for a job. I liked it so much I ended up keeping it as a backup. I recommend it for your application - more so than the 28-70L. Optically very good with excellent contrast and colour rendition.
