As far as those lens are concerned.. IS is practically useless unless you have a 5 alarm case of Parkinson's IS is not at all useless. Even for people with steady hands it's of much use in certain situations.

Its an older 28-135 IS USM that only had mode 0 and 1 (on and off). Would your run IS on a tripod or monopod? Like I said, I've read you should turn it off on a tripod, does that includ on a monopod, which wooudn't be as stable as a tripod. Canon Rebel Xti, EF-S 18-55mm kit lens

IS is very nice on this lens.  The manual with the 24-105 states that you should turn off IS when tripod mounted to conserve battery power, it doesn't say anything about degrading the image (like the manual for my 100-400 states).
