Product Description
Canon EF-S 17-85MM f4-5.6 IS USM Lens is possibly the best single lens to own with your Canon Digital Rebel SLR Camera. Equivalent to a 28-135mm lens, this new EF-S lens brings true wide-angle to tele coverage to EOS 20D, 30D, 40D and Digital Rebel shooters. It has Canon's Image Stabilization system, allowing safe hand-holding at speeds up to three stops slower than otherwise possible. And of course, it's 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. Circular aperture design -- natural highlights, even stopped down two stops Non-rotating front element; lens length does not change during zooming EF-S lens mount -- exclusively for EOS 20D and Digital Rebel bodies Filter Size - 67mm Maximum Diameter x Length, Weight - 3.1 x 3.6, 16.8 ounces Only compatible with the 40D, 30D, 20D

Gran lente. August 28, 2008

Lamentablemente no pude comprar la version que es mas luminoso. La foto del lente no corresponde a la escala real. Se ve mas pequeno de lo que realmente es.
Estoy satisfecho por la calidad, pero como les dije con la version de mayor apertura este lente hubiese sido ideal.
Canon 17-85 EF-S; Nice lens...canon quality? July 6, 2008
Well I was excited about this lens because of it's range so I purchased it from Amazon. I had it shipped overnight because I was going on a trip and need it right away. When I received the lens right out of the box the mount ring was not seated in place all the way. I pushed the one side back in place because I did not have time to return the lens. The lens worked well for a while and seemed to have good images but then my zoom ring started to "stick" around 70mm and at one point it completely froze and would not move at all. I took it off and it started to work but now there is something that rattles inside the lens. I have contacted Canon and was told to send it in for "possible" warranty repair. We will see what happens. I would suggest that you save your money and buy the 24-105L lens and that is what I am also going to do.
 Only virtue is zoom range. June 19, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
The only virtue of this lens is the zoom range.
Chromatic abberation, highly abnormal distortion, and slow aperture above 17mm make this a bad value.
The new Canon 18-55 IS is much better optically. Even better, go for the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 or the Canon 17-40L for a bit more. This is the worst lens I have ever used without a doubt.
Check photozone.de for detailed comparisons of the lenses and save yourself some money and get quality instead!
 Great upgrade for your kit lens June 16, 2008

Read the reviews of all the professionals and see for yourself.
I'm an amateur and cannot operate all those photography terms, but I can see the huge difference in the quality of the pictures from my kit lens.
It is a little bit heavy and big, but the quality worth it.
Great but heavy June 12, 2008

This is an amazing lens. I did notice that when its fully zoomed out the corners tend to get a little dark. But have taken amazing pictures with this lens. I have this on my Canon Rebel XTI. The image stabilizer has worked awesome for me and the zoom range is perfect. Very easy to use. WARNING though it is heavy at first. It takes some getting use to for the weight of this but i still really like it. Careful though because it requires a 67mm filter and they can run expensive so make sure you shop around for them. I recommend this lens for people that do not like the standard crappy lens and wants some more zoom. I was able to get mine for $400 because it was an out of box lens but it has worked great for me.
