Meh... let him blabber on. You notice all of his shots were 24mm or less. I could hand hold everything at that focal length without IS. Try hand holding a macro at its minimum focal distance with a shallow depth of field and tell me that tripods are useless.
I agree with you whole heartedly. That is why I come to Bryan's page for reviews and don't leave it up to someone like KR.

(I should check to see if I even still have it.) I used the EF 24-105mm f/4 <span style="color: #ff0000;"]L IS USM in the last two weeks. I can not even see it as fair comparing them as equal, much less giving the 28-135 the edge.
Edited for un-Christian behaviour, sorry.
I have a theory. KR somehow managed to sell an image as an amateur photographer. Then, he started calling himself a 'pro' and launched a website with the express mission of spreading as much misinformation as possible, inan effort to keep any other amateurs from getting so lucky. Mediocre lenses are the best. Wash your filters in your sink along with your dirty dishes. Etc. But as I stated, it's just a theory...
Ha ha, I
And now he has two more links to his page, increasing his importance on google. :-(
I remember when I was shopping for my first DSLR. Ken

I agree about the KR comments, but we have to hand it to the guy, he's making money!
