If you only have one lens, make it this one Bottom line: The Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens is great “walk around” standard zoom lens for full frame cameras such as the Canon 5D.

I can see how this might promote air circulation in and out of the camera, which may require cleaning in the future, but this shouldn’t be a huge concern. – Smaller SLR bodies might feel a little unbalanced with this pule of glass, but hey what are you gonna do.Bottomline, this lens is a great…
