Any one shooting with a Canon EF 28-135mm lens? My current lens has died and I need a good all round everyday lens. Unfortunately right now budget is a problem (new hardwood floors) and this looks like it would be the best buy for me. Any pros and cons please?

I use it quite a bit, I don't LOVE it but it always seems to get the job done except in very low light. The IS is useful--just don't forget to turn if off on the tripod. My main gripe is that seems kinda loose. The barrel is kinda wobbly and it will zoom all on its own if pointed down at all. It's reasonably sharp and quite budget friendly plus it covers a nice zoom range for walking around.

Thank you both for the input. Kelly, I did search the forum but that thread did not come up. Thanks for pointing me to it. I think that I will get that one as I have too many expenses at this time to get one of the L lenses and I need something soon.

Sigma also has zoom lenses that are kind of middle range. More $$ than the old 28-135 (which is really a "kit" lens), but still a few hundred $$ less than L glass. I haven't tried any of those Sigmas (my Sigma is a UWA) so I can't say if they are all that much better than the 28-135.
