Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

Pros: AF, focal excursion, size, stabilization, non-rotating front element, minimum focusing distance (0.35m)

Cons: Not very bright, not as clear as more expensive lenses (17-55 2.8 etc)

Opinion: Lens often mistreated for no reason: it does its job and does not have many equivalents, certainly is better than the plastic bags included in the kits from Canon.rnWhen it came out was a must for those who wanted a handyman APS-C.rnLeggera, robust, with wide excursion. Stabilization very good.rnThe real drawback, but it is common to this type of lens, is the brightness is not exceptional - but we are talking about a 5X zoom, it is difficult to find better around and in any case not spending the ridiculous figures (about 200 eur ) which is around now.rnIt 'crisp and bright as the 17-55 IS USM 2.8? Obviously * no *, but it costs less than a third ... rnrnBottom line: never regretted the purchase. Perfect all-round lens for what to do and what it costs. If you find it at a good price, take it with your eyes closed.
