I've had my EF 28-135 IS for over two years and have gotten some great pictures with it. I probably haven't used the IS to my best advantage--when I have low or marginal lighting, I attach a flash. But IS aside, I think it's just a nice, sharp, and versatile lens with a good zoom ratio. And the IS function has not given me any problems. The only downside is that the 28-135 seems to have rather loose tolerances. It's the only lens (of six) I have that has gotten dust particles under the front element. And I wish they'd engineered it so it didn't have so much lens creep. But other than that, it's a very substantial lens.
