Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens Review
When someone is looking for a decent quality but very affordable walk-around lens , the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens is one of the lenses I will often recommend to them.
Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens Compared to Other Zoom and Primes Lenses

Lens Test: Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM AF
A full-frame Image Stabilizer, the Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS ($410, street) is sold both separately and as part of high-end Canon EOS 30D and 40D kits (adding only $200). We tested it years ago as a full-framer, but we wanted to see how it performs on the 40D's APS-sized sensor.
Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens Review
Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM was first released in mid 1998 and was one of Canon's first lenses to incorporate an Image Stabilization technology. Priced at about US$450 (as of April 2007) the lens is clearly positioned for the entry level market with appeal to amateurs purchasing their first...
Was my first lens.. Used it for almost 3 years until I sold it for my 17-40. Great entry level lens.. Nice lens for the price.
- Great focal range .
- Great IS.
- Nice price and great entry level lens
- USM & FTM.
- Build quality not good - When you face the lens downwards, it extends! Wobbles while zooming.
- 72mm filter - not a standard! 28mm is too restrictive on a APS-C for general purpose
Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM review by dugong5pm
This is the best walkaround/travel lens for fullframe users. I prefer this than the more expensive 24-105L. Yes, the L-series will give you (slightly) better results, but for more money and weight (duh). I love this lens because of the portability.- price
- focal range
- IS
- light
- none
A strong lens for light but serious travel photography on crop digital. I match it with the Tokina 12-24 f4(an excellent lens) and get 19-200+ range on the digital Rebel, with IS on the upper end.
- Good range
- decent sharpness
- can be used on film cameras
- too
- Some zoom creep
- Not super small
- can pick up dust
Canon EF 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR?Cameras
This lens looks on the surface to be a great all-purpose lens, and at first the pictures looked a step up from my Canon PowerShot A720IS 8MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom. It has image stabilization, and a good range, I thought it would be a good general purpose lens.
Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 USM IS
Released in early 1998 the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 USM IS was the first standard SLR zoom lens featuring an image stabilization (IS) mechanism. Using its IS capabilities the camera motion is detected by 2 gyro sensors which measure the angle and speed of the shake.
Overview ------------- I bought this lens as part of a package with my previous body, a 20D . Build Quality ------------------ The EF 28-135 IS USM falls into the mid-range bracket of lenses in that it is a "proper" lens.
- Pretty good build quality and performance
- excellent image stabiliser
- Quite expensive for just good but not great performance
