What it is

{"overview":"The Canon EF 28-135mm f\/3.5-5.6 IS USM is a standard-range zoom lens for Canon's EF autofocus mount, covering moderate wide-angle through short telephoto. As of 2026 the lens continues to change hands at this entry-level zoom tier, with cleaner, fully functional copies fetching nearer the top of the range and tired examples sliding toward the lower end. Expect the typical EF 28-135mm IS USM to be worth and sell for double-digit rather than triple-digit money in the auction market.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear elements for fungus, haze and coating scratches, and work the zoom and focus rings through their full travel to confirm both move smoothly without gritty or sticky behaviour. Check that Image Stabilization engages with a soft whirr and settles cleanly, that USM autofocus is quick and silent rather than buzzing or hunting, and that the aperture diaphragm snaps crisply without visible oil on the blades.

Versions and how to tell them apart

Questions

Is the Image Stabilizer reliable on this lens?

The IS unit is a known wear point on long-serving copies, so buyers should always confirm it activates quietly and stabilises the viewfinder image before committing to a price.

Does it work on modern Canon bodies?

It is a native EF-mount lens, so it fits any Canon EF film or EF digital SLR directly and can be adapted to Canon's RF mirrorless bodies via the EF-to-RF adapter.
