It's a decent lens. All kit lenses are good, but not great. They are not the fastest lenses, but they can get you the shot you want. Kit lenses are good when you are new to photography and learning the basics.

The zoom range would be perfect for portraiture. I think you will find it a versatile lens for walkabout shooting as well.

I own the lens. It is better than most kit lenses as it only comes with the 7D or 5Dmii. It is fairly quick, nothing spectacular like an L lens, but really well suited to daily use and portrait work. Silent focusing and smooth operation so far for me. I am pleased with it. Then again- I have never tried an L lens.

It is also the kit lens for my 50D. I certainly wish it was lighter. This may be because my 28-135 is refurbished, has had an unknown amount of use before I got it. But when the camera is near vertical the lens extends to its full length, due to its own weight. Thus I am learning to shoot without a neck strap. Should I consult Ken Rockwell?
