A compact, lightweight standard zoom lens with superior optical performance plus a built-in Image Stabilizer. The IS system reduces the possibility of blurred photographs caused by camera shake, enabling hand-held photography in comparatively dim light without a flash or tripod. The IS system is composed of a pair of gyro sensors to detect vertical and horizontal motion and a microprocessor that compensates for it by shifting special IS lens elements in parallel with the perceived movement. At the wide-angle end of the zoom range, the equivalent shutter speed gain is approximately 1.5 stops while at the telephoto end, it is approximately 2 stops. In addition, the lens has a USM drive mechanism for optimum AF performance, and the pulse control diaphragm (EMD) ensures precise aperture control.

Comments about Canon 28-135 mm F/3.5-5.6 IS USM EF Lens:

This is the lens Canon SHOULD include with the kits. I've always used the "Cheap" lens that comes with the Canon Cameras, I've added some to my collection, but this takes the cake. My other lenses are for sale on Ebay, and I will be purchasing some other I.S. Lenses.

Comments about Canon 28-135 mm F/3.5-5.6 IS USM EF Lens:

This is a good all around lens, but the focus isn't consistent. In the same shoot, I've had dead on super sharp focusing on a few images and then really bad focus on others. I've been professional for quite a few years and know how to focus; there is something odd about the lens. This is GREAT for hobbyists. It has a great range and the IS is helpful.

Great walk around lens
By Sue from Tampa, FL on 11/26/2006
Pros:
Durable, Easily Interchangeable, Image Stabilizer system, Rugged, Sharp Focus
Cons:
Not as sharp as primes, Slow fstop at high end
Best Uses:
General Use

Comments about Canon 28-135 mm F/3.5-5.6 IS USM EF Lens:

If you can only afford one lens to go with your new Canon digital then look at this one. It's the perfect range for 80% of tourist type shooting situations, you will find the low end a little too much magnification (on c sized sensors) for good snap shots but if the subject isn't too close you'll be fine. I use this to shoot in a gym from the bleachers, has plenty of range for that sort of shooting. Very sharp for a zoom and the IS will save the day if you're forced to shoot available light and there isn't much.
