Product Description

 
Enjoy true wide-angle to tele-coverage with the EF-S 17-85 mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Zoom Lens from Canon. Incorporated with Canon’s Image Stabilization (IS) system, it facilitates up to three stops slower and safe hand-holding, allowing clear and sharp picture shots even in low-light levels. The Aspheric element with two Aspherical surfaces provides excellent optical performance. With closest focusing distances of 1.15 ft, this zoom lens is ideal for use in applications where portability is an important consideration. In addition, the ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) enables fast and silent Auto Focusing (AF) along with full-time manual focus when in the Auto Focusing (AF) mode.

Some love it, some hate it, I think it's a great lens.......

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: The range on this lens makes it a great walk around lens. IS system allows hand holding at lower speeds. Some love it, some hate it.
Review: I've been staring at this lens for quite some time. I've read a LOT of reviews of this lens, some love it, some hate it. I suppose it comes down to whether you can replace the range of this lens with multiple bodies and multiple lenses or whether...

CANON EF-S 17-85mm IS USM: Digital SLRs Only!

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2005
The Bottom Line: Certainly the most versatile lens to date for Canon's dSLRs with weakness regarding sharpness and chromatic aberration.
Review: Most affordable digital SLR cameras like the Digital Rebel or EOS 20D sport a smaller image sensor (compared to 35mm film) and that translates into an 'unused' area that's covered by 35mm lenses. By optimizing the lens toward the smaller area, the...

You will want the 24-70L after you buy

Date of Review:  May 18, 2005
Review: Bought the Canon 20D and 17-85mm (kit), tried it for 3 weeks, then decided I wanted the 24-70L. Sold it for a loss because it was after 7 days that NY camera stores allow on the return policy, remember this when buying. I took pictures with a Sony...

Canon EF-S 17-85mm USM Lens
This excellent 17-85mm, f/4.0-5.6 lens provides plenty of framing options, making it a perfect choice for expressing your creativity in a vast range of shooting situations. Its small size and low weight make it ideal for fast moving photography and travel, where it is not practical to carry around a heavy bag of kit. Designed specifically for digital photography, the lens has specially shaped lens elements and Super Spectra coatings to suppress ghosting and flare, which can be caused by reflections off digital camera sensors. It also features Image Stabilizer technology, making it excellent for hand-held and low light photography. A circular aperture provides a pleasing background blur when shooting with a wide aperture; ideal for creating a sense of depth and getting your subject or model to stand out from the background. For use with Canon digital SLR cameras.
