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: Beware the small letters!
Summary: 3 Stars
When I decided to upgrade, I chose this canon 28-135 mm os from the small letter below the original advertisement. The one that says "new:$319.95".
I thought that saving a hundred wouldn't be so bad. Well, first thing. This is a kit lens from a camera, taken and sent it in just a plain box, no warranty, no paper or any documentation whatsoever. After that, I realized that they advised about this in small print under the picture of the lens. The delivery was not definitely by UPS because UPS have you sign for any delivery and I found my box three steps from my door. I have a closed fence. Therefore, for my package to get there, it should be thrown over the fence. I have ordered other things from amazon and I've always been pleased with the service and the delivery. Next time, I'll buy strictly from them and not from any company that advertise through them.
Digital camera Review: Buy this Lens

If you are looking for one lens for your D-SLR this is the one to purchase.Image quality is excellent except (as usual) at extremes of focal length. The IS works very well and really does allow you to shoot at least 1 and often 2 stops higher. It is larger and significantly heavier than the kit lens but after a few days you don't really notice it. As others have noted the lens does extend under its own weight when carried on a neck strap but it does quickly snap back wnen needed.As an amatuer photographer I don't see any need to purchase any other lenses in thes focal range.Digital camera Review: Buyer Beware

Yes, this is a great lens. But this seller is not stating whether this is a Canon USA or an import lens. At this price, I have to believe it is an import--no warranty in the USA. Hopefully this post will motivate the seller to indicate if it is gray market of Canon USA.Digital camera Review: Canon 28-135mm IS f/3.5-5.6 great all around lens!

This lens is an excellent general use lens for either a digital crop (Rebel, 40D, 50D etc) or full frame camera (5D, 5D MKII) although its slightly less appealing on a crop camera as the zoom range isn't quite as wide as on the full frame but still very respectable. In fact for a complete review of my thoughts on this great little performer check out the complete article [...]Digital camera Review: Canon 28-135mm Wide Angle Lens

I bought this lens on a friends recomendation. In this economy, I can't afford to buy cheap equipment. I shake a little, so the stabilization feature is great! If you are looking for the best value per dollar spent, be sure to look at this lens. It was a great addition to my equipment.
