Distorsion at wide end is pretty bad. Avoid straight lines near the

Who ever suggested that I take the battery off the camera over night and
then test with new battery, THAT WAS IT! Guess the camera's electronics
got confused and required total reset (ie. all power totally off for
longer period).

Yes,
I had my 28-135 IS taken to service because the
IS sometimes started vibrating, ie the effect was opposite of
stabilzing the image. I got the lens back yesterday, they had
changed some circuit..
Before the service, the sound of IS was barely audible.
