canon

I use this lens on the Canon Digital Rebel. It gives me great color & sharpness up to 11x14. Canon makes better lens than this but for this price range you can't beat it. I'd reccommend it to any one. If I lost this one today I'd order another one tomorrow.

I am very satisfied with the overall performance of 28-105 mm. It focuses instantly and silently. USM is definitely an advantage and that was one of the reasons why I preferred Canon over other brands. The high pitched sound associated with focusing becomes quite irritating even at occasions when you do not need a silent operation. With a USM lens you do not hear anything and this is really fascinating. This lens produces very clear photos and is definitely better than the Canon EF 28-90 lens which is usually sold with the body for three reasons: 1. The grip feels much better. 2. The lens provides a larger aperture at longer focal lenghts. 3. Basically it has a focal length of 28-105 mm (vs 28-90). Even if there is a significant price difference I would suggest the 28-105 mm. You will NOT regret it.

I also bought this lens for my Canon Digital Rebel and i think it is a really nice little lens. it is well constructed with a metal lens mount and has a super fast and quiet USM motor. be sure you get this lens and not the cheaper F4 version!

the Canon 28-135IS is also a fantastic lens but it costs twice as much and is also larger. so if you are in the market for a high quality Canon lens that does not cost an arm and a leg then i would highly suggest you get this one.
