I hate this lens. It lost the focus when stabilization is on. I don’t recommend it.

I’m not normally one to give any product a bad rating. For most things, if I don’t like it, I discard it, and go on my way. But I bought this lens on the strengths of the Amazon reviews, and if I can help someone else avoid the same decision I made, it is worth it.
Many reviews here seem to indicate that this lens is every bit as good as an L lens. That just isn’t the case. If you need the L quality, this lens isn’t going to give it to you. The sharpness and contrast that you expect with an L lens are missing from this lens.
Now, if your primary concerns are price, and the only lens you have is the kit lens that came with your camera, this might be a great choice for you. As other reviewers have stated, the IS is a nice addition to a lens, and the image is probably acceptable for casual shooters. The zoom range is good for using this as a walk-around lens.
I had really hoped that the lens could compete with other L lenses, because I needed a good walk-around lens. This one seemed to fit my needs, and at a great price, too. But the images just don’t measure up to the standards that I am used to. For me, it is more important to have outstanding image quality than any other features in a lens. The 28-135 IS just doesn’t deliver, and so this lens is not staying on my camera.

Yes, this is a great lens. But this seller is not stating whether this is a Canon USA or an import lens. At this price, I have to believe it is an import–no warranty in the USA. Hopefully this post will motivate the seller to indicate if it is gray market of Canon USA.
