Canon EF 28-135mm F3.5-5.6 USM IS Review

Introduction

As indicated by Canon, the stabilizing effect is equal to around two stages of shutter speed using a slower shutter speed so there might be symptoms with moving articles in your static scene. However, the Image Stabilizer can’t be utilized for object tracking. In any case, IS is massively valuable in the field if you don’t need or can’t take a tripod. Yet, the blend of 5x zoom proportion, a reach from wide-edge to short Tele, and IS made it an alluring zoom – therefore with a colossal accomplishment in the film SLR market.

The optical configuration incorporates 16 elements in 12 groups with one shaped glass aspherical lens component in the back gathering. The aperture mechanism highlights 6 aperture blades. Also, with a weight of 549g, it isn’t one of the little standards that zooms out there.

The construct quality is nice but not extraordinary. There’s a little play in the twosome cam framework and the zoom and focus control rings are not damped. In any case, it’s one stage up from the cheaper lenses.

The lens has a quick and noiseless USM (ultrasonic) AF drive that permits full-time manual centering in one-shot AF mode. Also, the front element does not rotate, giving you the possibility to use a polarizer.

Distortion:

The lens demonstrates a medium level of barrel distortion changing to extremely slight pincushion distortion towards the longer end of the zoom area. Very noteworthy numbers for a lens with a 5x zoom proportion.

A more extensive focal length and the full-frame plan keep the distortion under control. The one issue can be seen beginning at 28 mm, where we saw barrel distortion at a satisfactory level of – 2.5%. Yet, when the focal length builds, the distortion rapidly vanishes. At 50mm, it has an almost unnoticeable value of 0.08% and turns into pincushion distortion. From that point on it begins expanding in any case, luckily, gradually.
