If it's a static effect you should be able to see the effect (with a film loaded) by removing the lens and opening the shutter on B and looking into the camera's throat. Assuming your observations are correct you'll see a big difference in flatness/curvature between left and right sides of the aperture. However I would be surprised if a lightly used EOS3 suffers from this defect - it's a relatively new camera design and as far as I recall, both Canon & Nikon sorted out film flatness under motor drive conditions some years ago. I wonder if the 28-135 IS has suffered a drop?
