New Canon Lens; USA Vs. Imported


Has anyone bought the new Canon 28-105mm usm 4-5.6 lens? How is the lens?
Did you buy USA or imported? Does it make a difference? This lens is less expensive and does not have the metal ring.
Thanks

  Jyan: This is an inexpensive lens that should be OK, though not superb.
USA and imported are the same lens, BUT the imported lens will not include a Canon USA warranty - just the dealer's warranty.
For a few bucks more, I would always buy the USA product.

  I believe the 28-105 3.5-4.5 II USM lens is the better lens. Any reputable camera store will confirm this. I have been told that it is a better and sharper lens. It is a bit faster with the 3.5-4.5.

I tossed between this lens and the 28-135 IS lens. I ultimately decided for the extra zoom and the IS. It is a more expensive lens, but I have been very pleased so far. The extra zoom is very handy.
