Lens information;
Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6;
The EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens from Canon is a compact and lightweight zoom lens that offers superior optical performance plus a built-in Image Stabilizer. The IS system reduces blurred photographs caused by camera shake and allows for handheld 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.
In addition, the lens has an Ultrasonic Autofocus Motor (USM) for faster and quieter AF operation, and the pulse control diaphragm (EMD) ensures precise aperture control. manual focus override is supported for precise manual control even in AF mode. The minimum focus distance throughout the zoom range is 20".
The Optical Image Stabilization (IS) system is composed of a pair of gyro sensors to detect vertical and horizontal motion and a microprocessor that compensates for this motion by shifting special lens elements in parallel with the perceived movement. The IS system reduces blur in images shot in dim light and at long focal lengths.
The internal focusing mechanism allows the front of the lens to remain stationary and to easily accommodate specialty filters, such as polarizing filters.
An Ultrasonic Autofocus Motor (USM) provides fast, smooth and quiet autofocus action which is particularly important when shooting video with this lens.

The following is a Rebecca West Quote.

Must Read
"Photographic art overlaps with the landscape, portraiture, and other photography types. It is defined by the artist's vision and approach to get distinct photographs. Unlike other forms of photography, fine art photography is about capturing what the artist sees instead of what the camera sees. It is just another tool for artists to produce their art."

Street photography is to isolate and capture moments which might otherwise go unnoticed. (Britanica)
People have an emotional response to images,
fine art photography, also known as “photography art,” or “artistic photography” is photographic artwork created in line with the artist's vision. Fine artists use photography as their chosen medium for creative expression.

Wonderful lens, great review. Thanks!
Your very welcome 🙏
@@KC-in9px no...I would return it...get a different one..different seller as well
This lens lives my daily 5D Mkii !!!
I found this gem at a pawn shop not long ago for $85 and picked it up. It now lives on my 6D2. Its a nice lens for its age!
A friend of mine just gave me this lens. He hadn't used it in years. It offers great bang for the buck.
Fantastic lens, also consider the 28-80 f/3.5-5.6 USM, first version. Tack sharp and another sleeper.
It lives on my 5D classic, used on my EOS 3 film camera as well, its a gem.
I bought this IS/macro/usm lens for my 5Dii at your recommendation. I think that I will be happy with this combo for years to come!
Great to hear!
I had one of these lenses for my 7D and was less than impressed. Maybe I just got a bad copy and/or wasn’t in a position to take advantage of all the lens offered.
Might be time to revisit it though as I’m going on a bit of a Canon tear again lol. Used 20 and 30Ds are amazing value for money these days.
Thanks Carmine, hunted one of these down on e-bay (UK), early days yet, but some test shots look really promising, a really useful range at a reasonably compact size, yes it's weighty but nothing like my Sigma 24-105, making for a relatively easy carry around on my Canon 6D.
Thanks for the great tip. I grew up in the film era and have been a slow adopter of digital be cause of the cost. Unlike film cameras, digital gear loses most of its value within a few years. The rush to mirrorless cameras has made full frame SLR's and their lenses quite a bargain. Now I am on the hunt for a 28-135mm IS.
Awesome :)
just ordered this with a rebel XS for 80$ cant wait to get my hands on it!
Nice price...you will love it 😀
Thanks, Carmine. I've been considering a similar EF-S lens, but hesitant due to the price being a bit higher. I've also been saving to get some full frame gear (maybe a 5D mk II). This helps on both fronts. Thanks for confirming it works on full frame and crop sensor too. I just ordered one and will test it on an upcoming trip.
Awesome 👌
Carmine
My most used lens a Tamron 28-200 3.5 - 5.6 autofocus lens
Thank you sir! This lens works great with my 5DMKIV, & R6MKII
7:32 I'll pass on the Pontiac, but will mention my late 80s Nakamichi is pure gold :)
Nice 👍
Totally sold me on the lens. Just bought a nice copy with filter, caps, and shade for $101 taxes and delivery included. I have a 20-35mm L f2.8 and a 70-200mm L f2.8 but neither are great walking around lenses.
Hope you enjoy it!
6D + EF 28-135 = perfect solution
Hello! Thank you for the video. I bought the same one 3 days ago, I'm waiting for the parcel... This is a Canon D5 mark 2 and a Canon EF 28-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, all together 588 euros, including delivery.
Wow..you certainly got a great deal 👍 👌
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography Thank you for your answer, you supported me in a difficult moment. The lens arrived, but I haven’t been able to check it yet - the package with the memory card is still on the way. The retractable part of the lens is very loose, I don’t even know what to think...
The only consolation is that it’s not too expensive - 135 euro.
Very important, make sure your version says Made in Japan on the front. The newer ones that say Canon Inc are made in China and optically poor performers, I have had both and they are Day and night different. The Made in China versions have Dark and soft corners and have to be stopped down to f11, the Japan version are sharp wide open an no dark corners. I have had 3, sold my 2 Made in China versions after getting the Japan lens.
Yes, I agree :)
Hey Carmine, I am so confused looking at old Ef canon lenses for my 500 and 7D. Following you here got inspired... But watching "Christopher Frost" channel (tests all kind of lenses) I just do not know what to believe anymore. Frost's channel breaks down every old lens you advice...??? It is like day and knight
I think this discussion board may help;

Hi! Thanks for the review, can I ask you if you believe this can be a good wedding lens to be used with a Canon 6D? I am mostly a video shooter (Panasonic GH5) and photography is mainly a passion: I love vintage lenses, and I can usually take my time to focus and shoot more pics of a given subject, but this is my first autofocus canon lens, and I would like to know what to expect, thanks!
I used this lens for a few dozen weddings. Just gorgeous :)
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography very good, thanks!
I have this lens on my canon 1ds mark iii
Wonderful video ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are so kind
Cool lens! Do you know how this compares to the 28-105 USM?
You gave me a great idea for a comparison video 👍
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography Great! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography I would also love to see how either of these compares to the more expensive L glass - 24-70 or 24-105L
What lens do I need if I already have the 28-135mm? What other lens do I need, the 70-300mm?
@JmartiStudio 70 to 300 would be perfect. You would have wide angle and portrait covered with your 28 to 135 and sports and wildlife covered with the 70 to 300
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography I am doing wedding photography, portraits, products, etc., super versatile, what other lens do I need? Having these, you, who are an expert, can you share your opinion?
@JmartiStudio you need a good quality prime lens with macro ...look gor a 100mm macro good for all purpose and close ups of wedding rings etc...I use the tokina atx pro 100mm
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography What is the use of this Tokina ATX Pro 100mm lens?
@JmartiStudio When a couple gets married, there are wedding rings. As a wedding photographer, you need a macro, close up lens to take beautiful close up, wedding ring photos. I wish you luck.
How recommended is this lens for an APS C Sensor frame?
I highly recommend this lens
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography Thanks
Again to late to know you Sir !
Live in the now 👍
