I've used both and I prefer the 28-135. The image stabilization is nice in darker places, the lens is bigger and has a better build quality. The 28-105 feels cheaper and small.

thanks man
so is the 28-135 a pretty good lens out of all or just compared to the 28-105

That really depends on what type of photos you plan on taking on how much quality you want.

It's not a professional quality lens and the main problem I had was that it was f/3.5-5.6.

Just out of curiosity, if you already have a 28-90 why also get a 28-135?

im more of a outdoors waterfall backwoods kindof photographer
hmm the 3.5 dosent bother me very much my other lens are slower than that

and im wanting to get a better lens because the 28-90 is horribly loud and slow.

Ok that works then. For outdoor stuff 3.5 should be plenty.

It's a good lens. It was my daily work horse for 4 years, and then started feeling tired in terms of its action. But the focus remained quick enough, and the sharpness was good enough for me.

Of course, Canon makes a 24-105 1:2.8 L lens that costs a LOT more, but is unBELIEVABLY!! good.
