Cons: zoom build weak, IS loudy, costly filter for 77mm threat
Pros: optical and colour exceptable, useful range for walkaround (although seems not enough wide on APS-C sensor).
Summary: looking for all-in-one lens? go for it... effective/price is very good... IS and USM are enough for walkaround, 28 enough for wide, 135 enough for zoom to the roof.

Cons: Build quality not good - When you face the lens downwards, it extends! Wobbles while zooming.. 72mm filter - not a standard! 28mm is too restrictive on a APS-C for general purpose.
Pros: Great focal range .. Great IS.. Nice price and great entry level lens. USM & FTM..
Summary: Was my first lens.. Used it for almost 3 years until I sold it for my 17-40. Great entry level lens.. Nice lens for the price.

Cons: Image Stabilizer is quite loud (gives a hum). Can degrade image quality so shoot without IS whenever possible. Front end of lens "wobbles" a bit, which is surprising for quality optics. Apparently it is normal for this lens, and does not influence image quality.
Pros: Decent build quality, full time manual focusing, USM motor. Sharpness is ok, especially on APS-C
Summary: Good walk-around lens, though for me (I use 450D) it lacked wide angle as it is designed for Full Frame
