  • Conclusion: Recently I got the EF 28-90 F/4-5.6 II (non USM) as a present. Actually I didn't think I would be using this little lens, I did have a Sigma 24-70 F/2.8 EX DG altogether.
  • Pros: Lightweight, cheap.
  • Cons: Plastic mount.

  • Summary: This lens usually comes as part of a kit (along with an entry level film SLR). It's lightweight, which pretty much sums up the good stuff I can say about it.
  • Pros: lightweight, USM
  • Cons: everything else

  • Summary: It is a good standard lens for a film camera but doesn't have wide angle capability with an APS sized sensor.
  • Pros: small, came with camera
  • Cons: quite slow. I usually don't use it at ISOs lower than 400 without a tripod

  • Summary: It's an OKAY lens if you're on a budget. I belive it does come bundled with certain cameras. The motor USM is fast, and probably this lens' only good feature.
  • Pros: Motor USM, price.
  • Cons: Cheap build, bad CA, mediore range.
