It is unrealistic to expect great optical performance out of a variable aperture consumer zoom lens designed as a compromise. Less than excellent resolution at wide open apertures, substantial linear distortion, and contrast drop off at long focal lengths are to be expected. Nevertheless, there are times when you can only take one lens, and each of the consumer lenses tested has its good points.

The Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM Lens features good build and decent-for-the-price optical quality.

This is probably the best consumer-grade zoom available for the Canon EOS mount. Image quality is excellent for the price, and it's solidly built.

The Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 USM proved to be a quite solid performer without any spectacular strengths nor weaknesses except maybe low contrast performance. On APS-C DSLRs it is surely not a first choice due to its focal length range which feels a little odd here.
