Canon Lens Comparison & Advice?

Q. For those that are familiar, can you please provide me with a complete description/comparison between these two lenses:

Canon 28-105 USM 1:3.5-4.5 vs. Canon 28-135 IS USM 1:3.5-4.5

I understand that the 28-135 has image stabilizer, but is that really necessary? I have the 28-105 and want to know if this is good for everyday pictures and portraits? Should I trade it in for the 28-135?

Also I would like advice on a good telephoto lens for a Canon under $300....I had a Sigma 70-300 APO DG which I have been told is a good lens but it does not focus.


Answer
Specs for the Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM are here: http://www.dpreview.com/products/canon/lenses/canon_28-105_3p5-4p5_ii

Specs and reviews for the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM are here: http://www.dpreview.com/products/canon/lenses/canon_28-135_3p5-5p6_is

The IS buys you several stops of hand holding capability, vital for portraits at 135. It's a great buy.

Canon Lens stock?

What kind of photos would you expect to take with a Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-22 zoom lens?


Answer
That's a kit lens. It goes to moderate wide to short telephoto--just about everyday photos.
