The EF-S 17-85 4-5.6 IS USM devalued its price greatly due to the fact that it has high reputation of providing distortion at every focal lengths vastly from -4.5 to +3.5!!!! Otherwise, it is a good lens, sharpness, build, IS, USM, size and its look, are perfect. Get one. It is cheap these days. You ll get nice pictures from it for sure. If you r not a pro or serious architecture photographer, so worth using.

This particular lens is great to do Candid Photography. The range is Perfect.. The lens has a Terrible Downside,,, it is Not Durable at all.. Do, Expect,, for it to break,, and that you will purchase another because it has such a great range. This is my Favorite lens to use,, but it's Construction is,, Junk.. I have purchased SIX of them,,, I would have been better off Purchasing a Professional lens.

17 to 85 is a great standard range. This lens has been around awhile, has a solid weight to it, is quite sharp with a respectable manual pull and has a super fast and accurate autofocus. I was surprised that the AF is a tiny bit noisier than I expected, but only an issue if you're using the in-camera mic for video, which you shouldn't be doing anyway. Variable aperture, but oh well, that's life under 200 dollars for a zoom this well built and with this range. The image stabilizer is very effective and helpful on handheld shots. Great lens and worth the price, especially if you can grab a good used one.

I have been using this lens since it was first introduced by Canon. I use it daily for work, and take it on every trip with the family. I have purchased two additional 17-85's as gifts for workmates and a family member. They are super sharp, and very durable.
