a great replacement for the standard lens i was using

,

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.

Anti-shake - Auto focus - Landscape to portraits in one lens - Auto focus is very quick

Excellent walk around lens for those that dont' go the 'L' glass route. Great flexible focal range, and takes nice shots. It's on my camera most of the time. I did have an opportunity to take some shots with an L glass lens and compare it with this lens, and there was not a huge difference, but then...

Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh; Consistent Output; good focal range

Slightly loose end barrel

It is my go to lens that I keep on the camera all the time. Great for close up shot but will zoom in great for the shot across the way as well. The only drawback in my opinion is it is a heavy lens but I think it has to do with the great construction of the lens (not a cheap plastic lens in anyway).

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 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...

This report briefly summarizes my review of four moderate range consumer zooms for Canon autofocus cameras. I compared the performance of several consumer zooms lenses against each other as well as Canon L-zooms and Canon prime lenses.

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.

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

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.
