Our take on the Canon EF 28-135mm USM IS Lens

by Dave Bar
CANON AUTHORIZED DEALER

This Canon EF series lens offers fast, silent autofocus, and a versatile focal range for shooting with Canon autofocus film and digital SLR cameras. But its big claim to fame is its renowned Image Stabilization (IS) technology, which lets you take sharp, in-focus photographs in all sorts of lighting conditions. Here's how it works.

We've all taken a picture and had it turn out blurry because our hands moved a little while we were capturing the shot. Image Stabilization works around this problem. Built-in vibration sensors steer a special set of optical elements inside the lens, neatly compensating for camera movement and stabilizing the image. You get much sharper pictures — even in low-light conditions where hand motion can easily cause blurred images with a regular lens. IS lenses are much loved by photographers who don't like to carry along a tripod on every excursion, but who require crisp photos as a matter of course.

High-tech Image Stabilization isn't the only advantage provided by this lens. A built-in ring-type Ultrasonic Motor makes autofocus very fast and very quiet. There's also its wide-angle picture-taking capability — great for capturing panoramic landscapes, or snapping large group shots of folks in tight quarters. And it even excels at taking precise close-ups of objects as near as 20 inches.

Highlights:

  • f/3.5-5.6 EF zoom lens
  • effective focal length:
    • 28-135mm with 35mm film or full-frame sensor digital cameras
    • 45-216mm with APS-C sensor Canon cameras

  • on/off switch for image stabilizer
  • available full-time manual focusing
  • ring-type Ultrasonic Motor for fast, silent autofocus
  • minimum focus distance: 20 inches
  • constructed of 16 elements in 12 groups

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Not a lens expert, but this lens lets me get close from far away and wide when I want to be wide, like for landscapes. Especially like the anti-shake and auto-focus capability. Works seamlessly with the EOS 60D. Sharp, clean, beautiful pix.
    Pros:
    - Anti-shake - Auto focus - Landscape to portraits in one lens - Auto focus is very quick
    Cons:
    None.
