5 out of 5 stars Decent Lens   October 10, 2008
Nam T. Vu (OH)
From the perspective of a hobbyist/amateur, I can not expect more from this lens. Images are sharp, IS works wonderfully and USM is very quiet, compared to my old Tamron 28-80. No more annoying creeping sounds, just smooth.

One Drawback: When you pair it with a light body camera like my XT, it's gonna suck when you try to put it around your neck and go all day long, it's gonna make you tired very quickly since the lens causes the body to be inclined forwards.

Other than that, highly recommend!



5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Lens!!   September 30, 2008
J. Fite (Atlanta, GA)
I couldn't be happier with this lens. Image quality with this lens is superb, bokeh is very smooth. Auto focus is very fast and reliable, and image stabilization makes getting a clear shot easy, even with a moving target. I'm using this lens on a Canon Rebel XSi, and it is now my primary lens. It is far superior to the kit EF-S 18-55mm IS lens, and is a perfect intermediate lens between the kit lens and my EF 70-300mm IS USM telephoto zoom lens. If you need something with greater reach than the kit lens, but you don't want to spend more than $500, buy this lens. You won't regret it.

Shame on Canon. I got this lens as part of a package when I bought a Canon 40D camera. I thought it would be great with IS and all, but I was sadly mistaken. The images are soft and the IS doesn't really help much. Fortunately I still had a Sigma 17-70mm lens that I got for my Canon 350D and I use this lens most of the time because I get the IQ that I am used to getting and the Canon 28-135mm lens is just a great disappointment. I wish I had spent the extra $200 on an alternate lens. I hope someone will want to buy this Canon lens from me. It's the only Canon lens I own and I am sorely disappointed with it. It is in a box collecting dust!


5 out of 5 stars Must have lens   August 26, 2008

This is a great lens. A little heavy for all-day carry around but the functionality and great pics make it worth it.


3 out of 5 stars Good photos, but very loose zoom   August 8, 2008

I got this lens as part of the kit for my EOS 40D. It takes pretty good photos, and has a great range. I had it on the camera on a nature shoot while it was attached to my tripod and whenever I carried the tripod around with the camera attached, the zoom rolled all the way out. Seems very loose to me, so I emailed Canon about it and they said that was normal, but if there was NO resistance to send it back to them. It's not that bad yet, hopefully it won't get any worse. After some experience, I probably should have just got the body only for the 40D and got the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens for a walk around lens. Probably would have been cheaper too.
