I had a 28-135IS about 5 years ago and the only camera it ever worked
properly with was my Rebel 2000 (film). It wouldn't focus properly with
my Elan 7e or 7ne which were bought a few years later. The lens went
back to Canon 3 times to be repaired, after the 3rd time they sent me a
new lens. The new lens had the same problem as the original lens. I sold
the lens to someone who was using an EOS-3 and he said it worked fine
with his camera.
Funny thing though, I knew two people that had older 28-135IS lenses.
Their older lenses worked properly on my Rebel, Elan 7e and Elan 7ne
cameras. I wonder if Canon changed manufacturing plants or something in
the process somewhere.
I started buying L lenses after my experience with the 28-135IS.

Before my 5D I had a 20D. I borrowed a friend's 28-135IS once and the
results were so awful that I gave it back to him with the "bad copy, send it
to canon for repair" suggestion. He said "I never liked the pictures I took
with that camera". He'd had the lens for a couple of years as his only lens!
Tom - has this this lens has given you good results in other settings?

Hi Tom,
I too have the EF28-135 and a 5D. Before going to the Alps last summer I
ran some holiday snap type checks with my 28-135 and the new 5D. Although
I've used it abroad in the past with film cameras and successfully, I left
it at home this time as I noticed patches of poor definition when printed to
A3. Instead I took my EF 28-80 f3.5-5.6 USM (Original version) and that was
fine.
So I'm not too surprised by your post.
(Other lenses taken were EF 24 f2.8, EF 50 f2.5 and the lightweight EF
80-200 f4.5-5.6. All performed OK when required. Pleased that I travelled
light as we got to high altitudes where oxygen depletion had an effect.)
