Canon 28-135mm USM IS: good match w/Elan IIe?

Does anyone know if this lens/body make a good fit? ie, are there any vignetting problems, flash problems (either w/built-in flash or the 380EX), or any other reason not to get this lens for an Elan IIe? My other choice would be the 28-105mm USM.

Thanks for any help,

I have this camera/lens combo and it works just fine. I haven't seen

any vignetting problems with this lens (although that doesn't mean

there might not be any with blank blue skies wide open at 28 mm), but

there is definitely a problem with the built in flash. The lens is

just too big, and the flash is barely useable because the lens creates

a shadow on the lower part of the frame at lengths less than about 50

mm. Consequently I use longer lengths, and then the flash is too

close to the lens axis and not even "red-eye reduction" can really

stop red-eye when doing portraits in dim overall light. This lens and

the built-in flash just don't work very well together in a lot of

situations (although there are certainly many situations where they do

work). My problem with this lens/camera combo is the camera and not

the lens. The IS works in dim forest light where I use it often and

can handhold really slow speeds successfully. Unfortunately I like

smaller cameras than the ElanIIe (Contax 139 size) and so am not

really happy with the camera in general. I also have a devil of a

time trying to make the eye-controlled depth-of-field thing actually

work, although I can control the focus points quite easily with my

glasses on.

If you're having trouble with eye-control, immediately do an on the

spot recalibration. That usually solves my problem.
