Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EF 28-90mm F/4-5.6 III SLR Lens for Canon Cameras
Customer Review: 3.5 Stars
Summary: 4 Stars
In general I think that this lense is an excellent walk around lense that offers an adequate range for most individuals. I have used this lense on both an EOS Rebel K2 (kit lens for this camera) and a 30D (I only got the body). Of course, the 30D will easily out perform this lense and with the K2, unless you develop your own film, you will have to suffer the development by a "franchise" style 1 hr photo (if you are buying this lens, more than likely you're not developing and you probably don't want to pay astronomical prices for your shots anyway).
In general, I think that its an acceptable lens that offers quality shots. With this, you are getting a Canon lens at a CHEAP price in comparison with some of their others, so in some sense you are paying for the name. Is it worth it? In this price range...yeah, probably. We're not talking L class lens here.
So for the average person just wanting to get some good shots on their camera then this lens should work well. It does feel a little cheap and light in my opinion but its considered a kit lens to begin with so can't complain too much there. I've been using it for over a year now and thus far have taken some decent shots with it. I have posted some for reveiwers viewing pleasure. Nothing phenomenal, but something to go off of.
If I were to give a recommendation I think it would be as a kit lens, yeah its good. As far as buying afterwards I might consider spending a few more bucks and stepping up the zoom and aperature a bit. Low light kills this lense in my opinion but its only an f4 wide open...what do you expect? Put it on a tripod and set you camera to Tv and you can get some decent shots. I've post one that was at night with a great deal of light noise...it did ok...made for an interesting shot.
My greatest two gripes would be:
As mentioned above low light destroys this lens (it doesn't have IS and has an f4 aperature wide open...only so much to say here considering price though).
Second, I don't care for the switch between MF and AF...not convenient for me. It could work but I've never personally found it positioned well or ease of switching. Just a personal issue though. Others might find it perfect.
Overall...decent lens for just having a good time and getting a decent name brand to compliment.
