Summary: Terrific lens for all-around use.
Review: For the times when I want to travel light and only take one lens, I usually throw this lens on. Through its entire focal range, it does a great job. Its performance is exceptional considering it's not an "L" grade lens. The lens is constructed well and has a nice feel. I have an Elan 7e body and this lens complements it very nicely. The Ultrasonic motor is definitely a nice touch. You can't even hear the lens focusing it's so quiet, not to mention fast. I find that 28-105mm is a great range for everyday shooting, and if you're into taking closeups, it has a fairly good macro mode (although I wish it could be a little better...Nikon's equivalent lens has a macro reproduction ratio of about 2.7:1, which this lens doesn't come close to...but it's a Nikon...bleh). I would advise anyone buying this lens to also purchase the accessory hood that's available for it.

Summary: Great Walkaround Lens!
Review: 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.

Summary: Versatile and quick
Review: 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.

Summary: Not a pro lens, but a great lens of small budget
Review: I bought this lens as a general use lense when I picked up my Canon A2e several years ago. This is the lens that has lived on that camera for 99% of the time. While this is no pro lens, for the money, you can't beat it. It's great for indoors, family shots, tight facials of the children or pets, and landscapes. it has enough flexability to take the average photographer where you want to go. For the digital SLR cameras with the smaller sensors, the 28mm wide end may be limiting, I don't know (yet), but for 35mm film, this baby is wonderful for the money!

Summary: another great value lens from canon...
Review: I purchased this lens for my EOS 300D tonight and after a shooting a few test shots my verdict: it's a keeper. We have Abe's Of Maine here in my area and I paid less than the amazon quoted price. Thanks Ed :)

Summary: I like it.
Review: 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.

Summary: Nice and terrific lense
Review: Light weight, very fast forcuss and pictures were very sharp and bright with Drebel 300D. Very high recommended. I have a Sigma lense but the pictures taken were not as sharp as Canon lense.

Summary: AF is super fast and the focal range is great...
Review: Otherwise this lens is merely good. I've had this lens for a little over a year and have taken numerous rolls on it in all kinds of settings and conditions. It does what it promises to, which is to provide a nice wide-to-medium telephoto focal range (suitable for 99% of casual photography) with the fast ring type Ultra Sonic Motor autofocus. It also lets you focus manually even if the switch is on AF, which is really slick. If it weren't for these features I might not have given it a 4 because the optics are just not that good. It's not very sharp at any focal length, and it produces duller colors than the other 2 lenses I have. But like I said, the lens performs as it's meant to - as a better than entry level consumer grade lens. The USM is so fast that it justifies the lens's optical shortcomings. Your subject simply *pops* into focus instantaneously when you start to depress the shutter. I'm about to move on to a sharper and more "contrasty" lens, but it'll be heavier, bigger and won't focus as fast. The time that I did spend with this lens produced some very nice results and it served its purpose quite well as a solid stepping stone in my continuing education as a photographer.
