How to use Canon 28 135mm f 3.5 5.6 EF USM Zoom Lens
While I considered purchasing a Canon 10D, I also started looking for a good first lens. Most of the reviewers and Canonites on the various forums suggested this canon 28 135mm lens as a good starting point.
The canon 28 135mm lens IS USM Zoom is the one I use all the time now on the Canon 10D, and that will be the case until I get over the sticker shock of the 10D/Canon 28 135mm f 3.5 5.6 EF combo and start adding other lenses to my kit.
In the meantime, this canon 28 135mm lens gets the job done very well. It gives you good range for a variety of of shots, from portraits to telephotos. There is even a macro mode, which gives you the opportunity to do close-ups–not really a true macro, but okay for shots of flowers, your kitty cat’s face, etc.
It is the flexibility of this canon 28 135mm lens that makes it so appealing if all you have is just one lens. And remember that if you mount this Canon 28 135mm f 3.5 5.6 EF on a digital camera, like the 10D, the range is actually extended by a factor of 1.6.
The USM focuses fast, and the Image Stabilization (IS) really works. In fact, I’ve been spoiled by it, and IS is now a must for any of the longer lenses I might purchase in the future.
The IS system “locks” on target so that camera shake is eliminated or at least seriously minimized. This means fewer shots ruined by camera shake, and the IS system allows the user to shoot handheld at slower shutter speeds. This isn’t just advertising hype. It works.
The image quality is quite good. I get good color saturation, contrast, and sharpness. After tweaking some shots in Photoshop, I was able to turn out some excellent 13×19 inch prints.
As others have pointed out, if you are just starting out with a Canon DSLR or SLR and want one good general purpose lens, this is it.
As of August 2008 I have sold this lens because I have moved on to Canon “L” glass, but the canon 28 135mm is still a great EF macro lens to start with if you are just beginning to learn photography.
