Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras – White Box
The Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens is a compact and lightweight standard zoom lens that offers superior optical performance, plus a built-in Image Stabilizer. The IS system reduces the possibility of blurred photographs caused by camera shake, which allows for hand held photography in comparatively dim light without a flash or tripod. 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. Also, the lens has a USM drive mechanism for faster and quieter AF operation, and the pulse control diaphragm (EMD) ensures precise aperture control. Note! White Box products comes supplied in a plain white box, instead of the manufacturer’s packaging. It still includes all the manufacturer’s accessories.
Product Features
- The Image Stabilizer uses a pair of precise gyro-sensors and a microprocessor to significantly reduce possible image blurring
- Advanced Ultasonic Motor (USM) performs high-speed, silent and precise automatic focusing (manual focus is also provided)
- Accepts 72mm lens filters (optional)
- Advanced optics and aspherical lens element help preserve sharpness and color clarity from edge to edge
- With a 5x zoom range of 28mm to 135mm, it covers wide-angle / normal / portrait / telephoto perspectives

A fantastic lens that stands up where it counts A lot of people are comparing this lens to the 24-105L lens, which I guess is because KenRockwell picked this over it in terms of price and practicality, but putting a $200 used lens up against L glass is a pretty unfair comparison. Of course this isn’t L glass, nor is it L construction or feel. Check the MTF charts, it’s not going to be as sharp or have as much contrast, but let me say that it is a great lens for the kit-lens-owning photographer looking for a bump up.The focus on this lens is fast and accurate, and image quality is delicious, and you never have to fight with it to fix it on a focus point unlike a few other “all-purpose walkabout” lenses that I’ve used. Colors are vibrant and it’s stellar throughout pretty much all of its range. The spinny-uppy IS is nice to grab a few extra stops when shooting in available light, too. I’m able to pull off shots that wouldn’t be possible without a *pod or pushing up the ISO. I’m very thankful for that extra reach on this…
perfect ugrade from standard 18-55 kit lens would’ve given this lens a 5 star if not for the loose zoom ring that was often described by other reviews. otherwise, it has great zoom range, fantastic macro capability and incredible sharpness once you get to learn to use hyperfocal distance. i use a canon rebel t3i with the standard 18-55mm IS kit lens, and for those like me who are just beginning to explore the world of photography but feel like their skills have outgrown their 18-55mm kit lens, this is the perfect next step. i have made this lens my walk-around lens ever since and have only purchased a canon ef 20-35mm wide-angle as my other lens for landscape photography. i don’t own many lenses enough to make a critique or comparison in terms of build quality and weight or handling, i’ll leave that to the experts. for an amateur like me, who’s also on a limited budget, image quality is all i’m concerned about and i find it performs excellently in terms of my current skill level and current needs as a photographer. focusing is…
