Canon EF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 V USM

nice lens, good colours i used it extensively in all conditions, silent, fast focusing, who cares if it is small and light who buys a lens to put it in the treasure vault, the essential is to buy the low investment lens and get the same results as with...

I bought this together with a Canon 500 in cash converters. My version is III made in Japan if that helps. I just now scanning some kodak portra I shot with this set up and am amazed with the results. Colour rendition is fantastic and decent sharpness....

The very first 28-80 usm was fantastic then they ruined the mk2,They should all have just about stopped working by now.Then they have improved them slightly each mark after that.True its not an l glass lens but how many of these could you buy for the...

This lens isn't as bad as some reviewers have made it out to be. No, it's not an "L" lens. Nor is it comparable to an "ATX". This is lens was not designed with the pro in mind. It's a consumer grade lens designed with the beginning photographer in...

This is a review of the Mk II version of this lens. My virtual reality research group recently purchased a very nice Canon D60 with a Canon 28-70L lens. Out of curiosity, I did come comparison shots with my cheap 28-80 zoom and the nice L lens....

This is a good lens if used within it's limitations. Stop it down to at least f8, 1/film speed for the shutter, or a stable tripod, avoid flare situations, and you will get sharp, relativly contrasty pictures. Many slam this lens as a cheap "Kit" lens,...

Gosh you people dont know what are you talking about!This lens is a CONSUMER lens NOT AN "L" LENS!And it is very stupid to compare it with one of these.Yes,it has pincushion within the whole range,yes,it is not very solid,but it IS constrasty and it IS...

I got this lens with my Elan 7 camera, and was almost afraid to use it after reading all the comments slamming it. But took it on a trip and came back with some outstanding pictures. Very sharp and colorful. I am at a loss to see what these naysayers...

SHARPNESS - this is the feature this lens lacks the most. And contrast too. It could be acceptable for beginners who just threw their compact cameras. But - as other advise - better buy only the body and other better, sharper lens.

Bundled with Eos bodies just to provide ''a zoom outfit'' to sell. Horrible in use - plastic feel and very poor results. Do yourself a real favour - swap it for some (any) money off one of the fixed focus 50mm Canon lenses. Even the cheapest f1.8 50mm...
