What a great Lens
I purchased Canon EF 28-105mm USM II lens a few months ago to go with my Canon XSi. I love taking photos of nature and have captured some really beautiful photos of butterflies other insects flowers and animals with this lens. My pictures have come out sharp and with excellent color. I appreciate how easy it is to use the manual zoom and the speed of the auto focus is really wonderful. To take close up photos I just set the camera on the close-up setting look for my subject set the zoom make sure I am 18 inches from the subject depress the shutter half way and wow - the auto focus is amazing on the subject and the background has just the right amount of blur. The quiet USM motor is nice too so that you dont scare away the insects with a lot of noise. All I have to do is crop my photo - no need for touch up of any kind. This camera and lens go great together. As far as value I think the quality is excellent for the money. It is worth every penny.

Excellent for its price
I have owned this lens for about a month now. I opted for this one instead of the 18-55mm kit lens upon reading numerous reviews that it is a great general purpose lens for starters. I have to say I am impressed with Canons USM system... and a relatively fast auto focus. I havent had a single time when the subjet was out of focus because of the lens mistake. It is pretty sharp around f5.6 all through the focal range.. mostly within 28-80mm range. To sum up: Pros: - A good general purpose Canon branded lens. 28-105mm is a decent focal range for starters. - USM is great. - AF is good.. mostly accurate. - Light weight not bulky in size. - Decently sharp throughout most of the range. Cons: - Colors are not very bright or vibrant.. but a little post processing is all it needs. Final notes: The 28-105mm is great for its flexible range and the decent sharpness and USM... I have used it for everything from semi-macros to portraits to landscapes to long exposure shots at night to birds. And the build is professionally solid. Worth the money
