Summary
Compré una EOS 33 y me preguntaron si queria el kit que incluia esta lente ya que me saldria mas barata que si compraba la lente aparte, dije que sí y cometí un grave error, por barata que sea esta lente es como tirar el dinero. Es la peor lente que haya fabricado Canon jamas, no es digna de estar en su catálogo.
Alguien podría pensar que puede ser buena para un principiante en camaras SLR como yo, grave error, lo unico que hace una lente como esta es confundirte y llegar a pensar que la camara es mala cuando no es asi.
Strengths
Que a nadie se le ocurra comprar este objetivo, es tirar el dinero.
Si te lo regalan, di que no, solo servirá para estorbar en un cajón.
Weaknesses
Lo peor que he visto en mi vida

Summary
I notice that the 28-90mm USM lense is taking alot of flack. As a general purpose lense it is fine. I am a travel photographer and tend to take this lense on the road because of its light weight, near silent and extremely fast auto focus system. Granted, the focus ring is annoying especially when a polerizer filter is attached but this is no great problem. For those who enjoy photography as a hobby, this lense is more than ideal and is superior to other lenses in the same price bracket!!!
Strengths
Accurate and extremely quick auto-focus.
Light-weight.
Cost.
Weaknesses
Rotating front elemant.
Flare (this is a problem with alot of lenses though).

Summary
As a light lens to keep on the camera most of the time this lens is great. I also have an EOS 1000 (v. light) and with this lens on it you have an acceptable lightweight SLR that takes some great shots.
Not a lens for the serious shots for anyone who wants a lightweight slr kit handy at all times (as most good photographers would...) then this is the perfect lens.
Strengths
Light
Cheap (no great loss iff you bounce it off a rock while hiking)
Reasonably fast focusing
Zoom covers day to day needs
Weaknesses
Light (cos it is plastic)
Not as sharp as some of canons other lenses (and I don't mean the primes)

Summary
I have this same lens. Some reviews of it stating that it comes as a bundle may be the non USM version.
This is a pretty decent lens. Not a good one but good lenses dont come at this price.
Pictures are sharp. There may be some issues with flare(at 28mm and at open shots of scenery facing the sun), but I wasnt using a lens hood. :)
It feels plasticy and hunts at low light but besides that it performs fine. Focusing ring can be better but the similar Nikon lens also comes with this same silly type of focusing ring.
Lastly, I have just developed photos taken with this lens and am pretty impressed. No complains except for the one I mentioned earlier(flare?).
Strengths
Cheap
Silent
Sharp enough pictures.
AF is pretty fast in general use.
Weaknesses
For the price cant complain much. :)
Focusing ring can be better
The flare(?) I was mentioning about.
