Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

Digital camera Review: Over all good lens.
Summary: 4 Stars

Purchased this to go with my XSi and have been pleased so far. I used it on a recent backpacking trip and it really produced some great quality shots. I also have a 17-40mm L and to be really honest I can produce about the same quality pictures from both lenses. I do slightly favor the L for its wide angle, but this one is a definite plus with IS.

The build quality is pretty solid overall, except for the lens creep. It seems to be "standard" on this model lens for the zoom to extend out while carrying it. Can be annoying, but still worth buying. This is the only reason for the 4 start rating instead of 5. As far as the lens hood, forget about it. Have taken numerous pictures with and without it and it really doesn't make a difference, it just takes up added room and a pain to keep it on while in a case. I also noticed that in some circumstances I was getting a little lens flar, until I discovered that it was from my UV filter and not the lens itself. All that they say is true about cheap brand filters-avoid them. I would recommend this lens, but be aware of the lens creep, good quality for the buck, especially if you can get a mint copy of a used one.
