List,
I, too, was surprised by the 28-105 IS. I'd dropped my 28-70, rendering
it unusable for a while, and was forced to use my 28-105 IS for a few
assignments. It's a lense I bought mostly for personal use, since I
didn't want to have to lug around the big stuff for "snapshots". And,
since I'd only just bought it, I was unsure as to how it would perform.
Much to my surprise, it's very sharp, indeed. And it's a kick to be able
to get something really sharp while hand-holding at 1/8 of a second.
It's a little too slow for shooting basketball, but it certainly has its
uses and has snuggled in right there next to all my "L" gear.
All the best,
Robbi

Hello all,
In the fall of 2000 I was enrolled in a B&W photo 1A class. I had just
replaced my 28-105 with the 28-135 IS. The day after printing some
enlargements from the 28-135 IS I stopped by the lab to pick up the now
dry prints. The instructer who was supervising that eve's class (all
photo instructers here at Monterey Peninsula College are very competent)
asked upon seeing my 8 x 10 print of some geraniums growing through a
fence, "Is that 35mm?" suggesting that she thought it could be medium
format. When I told her it was shot hand held in late eve in at 1/20 of
a sec with a newish Canon 28-135 IS she was blown away.
