Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Versatile full-frame zoom with silent USM autofocus for everyday shooting and travelThis Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM lens provides a flexible zoom range ideal for landscapes, portraits, and general photography on Canon EOS SLR cameras, delivering sharp images across full-frame and APS-C sensors. The ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) ensures fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override, making it suitable for quick candid shots or deliberate compositions. Lightweight and compact, it's a reliable walk-around lens that balances performance and portability for hobbyists and enthusiasts, though internal dust and possible fungus may slightly impact contrast in certain lighting.
Condition: Good cosmetic and functional condition with some wear: chipped plastic on the focus ring edge, internal dust specks, and potential haze on glass elements (may reduce contrast but does not prevent use); fully tested with smooth zoom, accurate autofocus, and reliable aperture. Priced reduced accordingly to these issues.
Includes: Front lens cap only.
