Product Description

 
Equivalent to a 28-135mm lens, this new EF-S lens brings true wide-angle to tele coverage to EOS 20D and Digital Rebel shooters. It has Canons Image Stabilization system, allowing safe hand-holding at speeds up to three stops slower than otherwise possible. And of course, its optically optimized for digital SLRs. A ring-type USM means both fast and silent AF, as well as full-time manual focus when in the AF mode.

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...

A Good Walkaround Lens!

Date of Review:  Mar 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: A good walkaround lens for the value.
Review: I bought the 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS USM lens bundled with a new Canon EOS 30d from B&H roughly 3 months ago. In these first few months, I've learned a number of things about this lens. Traditionally, I come from a background of 35mm film cameras and...

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...
