Hey Guys
Quick help needed
Just about to buy a new lens
Canon 28-105mm f.4-5.6
Noticed another one slightly more expensive but
Rather then just:

Canon EF 28-105mm F.4-5.6 Lens

It says

Canon EF 28-105mm F.4-5.6 U Lens

Whats the difference?
Thanks Gary :)
 
akaik that means Ultasonic for cannon stuff
 
Yeah they did a USM A and a USM II version the USM II being about £20 more at £177ish which i think is the newer of the two, don't know which is better I guess its the same actual lens just with the new USM motor fitted?
 
Ah this explains it a bit better

Canon EF 28-105mm f3.5-4.5 USM II

Retains the optical capability of the highly popular EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens, with a refined exterior design. Includes ring-type USM drive for silent, high-speed autofocusing, plus full-time manual focusing. The compact design is a good match for the EOS 5 or 30/33 with built-in flash. An excellent zoom lens for everyday use.
