Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras Review

I've only recently gotten my Canon 40D and, as I said in the title, this lens came with it. So far, I am really happy with the detail it came capture.

I added an image of a Downy Woodpecker to the images area and the detail of the bird is very good. I'm still learning how to use my camera and lens, but so far, I am really happy. The picture was taken late in the afternoon, in the shade. I couldn't see the bird all that well. I had the 40D on auto and the lens all the way out (max mag). I used Picasa to lighten the pic and was really happy with what I ended up with. It sure didn't look that good in the tree.

I guess, when I get more proficient with the camera, I'll be able to take better photos, but with Picasa, I'll be okay.
