I believe you are speaking of a different 35-105 lens than the OP has. His EF
may be the original "Push Pull" zoom with metal mount from 1987. A newer EF 35-105 1:4.5-5.6 was made in 1991 that has a plastic mount.

I have the 35-105 and have made some very good photographs using it on film and Dslr bodies. It is not stabilized and with the 1.6 "crop" factor, I am very careful to keep the shutter speeds higher than 1/125th sec. It has a plastic mount and is pushing 30 years old and works fine. However, it is worth more as a back up, "What the hell if it IS raining just put a cover on it and shoot" lens that it would yield in Dollars.
I'm saving mine for when I go to full frame. It will get me started until GAS takes over.
