Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Great lens!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this lens and have taken tons of photos with it...from stills to action shots. The lens IS is great for compensating for shakes and gives clear, blur-free photos. Continuous shooting was used for photos of a track runner and every shot came out great. The AF on the lens is quick...it doesn't hunt for the image. In lower lighting it does slow down but only if you have the flash off, but this is true of most lenses anyway.
Because of its range, it has become the main lens that lives on my camera. I've purchased L-series lenses and have sold them because of how much I like this lens. Combined with the Canon XT camera, I have a great grab and go set to take awesome shots!
Customer Review: Excellent Walk-About Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally purchased a 30D with the low-end kit lens - to me the pricing didn't really make sense to get either the body or the higher-end IS kit lens. I was looking for a good all-purpose zoom with full-size sensor covereage in case I move up the Canon ranks to a new pro-level model in the future.
The 28-135 fits the bill nicely. Although it is fairly heavy, the difference in build and image quality between the 18-55 kit lens is incomparable. This lens takes beautiful pictures and operates flawlessly. I highly recommend it as a day-to-day lens, and the IS is a nice feature for extending the range down a few stops without moving up to the much more expensive faster lenses.
Customer Review: Best Bang for the Buck for new Photographers
Summary: 5 Stars
I am really enjoying this lenses since I have received it about a month ago. Before this I was just using the standard kit lens that comes with a Rebel Xti (18-55). The glass in this lens seems to be superior to my prior lens and my images seems to have a crispness to them that they didn't have before. The only thing that I do not like about the lens is its ability to go out of focus. If you are on an upward or downward angle over 45 degree's the lens shifts out of focus. So I simply just hold it down manually, and that is a simple fix.
Once again I am super happy with my purchase and I would suggest this lens to anyone else because of its quality to price ratio.
Customer Review: Great everyday lens for DR
Summary: 5 Stars
After using this lens for the last nine months, I regret not purchasing it the day I ordered my digital Rebel two years ago. The image stabilization feature is better than advertised and dramatically increases the ability to shoot hand held in low light or with small apertures. This lens is sharper, focuses faster, and offers a wider range of zoom than the kit lens that comes with the DR , and although larger and heavier, is a great everyday lens that stays on my camera 85% of the time. If you are considering purchasing a DR for everyday photography (family, vacations, etc.) do yourself a favor and upgrade to this lens, it is extremely versatile and worth every penny.Customer Review: Exceptional Canon Quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this along with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel. Probably the most versatile lens you could buy, covering about 95% of the range one would ever use. The quality of this lens makes the 18-55mm lens almost obsolete. Although this is somewhat pricey, it is well worth the money. Canon lenses are always top-notch and compatibility with your digital camera is assured. Be sure to purchase from a reputable retailer so that you get a USA warranty. You should never compromise quality, otherwise you'll regret getting something that wasn't the best. Your camera is expensive, and your memories are priceless -- why short change both with a second rate camera lens?
