Canon EF 28-90mm f/4-5.6 II USM

Pros: fast accurate focusing, light weight

Cons: no lens hood included

The Bottom Line: A nice general purpose 'prime' lens for today's lighter weight autofocus cameras

Review: Now, why did I title this review as I did? Well, as I recently discovered when I sold my older Canon gear and went looking for the "latest and greatest", things ain't what they used to be. Why, when I was a kid, or, back in my day- you see what I...

Pros: USM motor, Canon EF, decent focal lenght.
