Ken,
I am referring to ordinary tourist type photos, and tripod mounted team type
shops, all pictures taken under a variety of situations, the 28-135IS does
not match the same genre of pictures taken with my 28-80 3.5-4.5USM. When I
say do not match, and this is purely my own generalization of looking at 3.5
x 5 inch photos. The pictures are not as sharp (ie they look a bit fuzzy & if
you use a loupe I notice a lack of minute detail which I attribute to the bit
fuzzy appearance). The contrast that I refer to is akin to a picture taken by
an "L" lens, the colors jump out at you, well they don't even wiggle with
this one.
Hey this is my opinion but I have a shoebox (workboots) that is filled with
snapshots of a recent visit to Disney that I regret I took only the 28-135IS
with me.
I suggest you borrow the lens from someone and look for yourself before
buying. If you are around RI, please contact me and I'll gladly let you use
it.
Regards,
George Smith
