Having been using a non stabilised 18-55 lens that was bundled with my EOS 500 body for 18 months and having read reviews of other lenses I decided the 17-85mm was to be my next purchase. I couldn't justify the expense of a new lens so ebay was scoured for the best deal, 8 bids later I was sucessful at the auction. The lens is a significant step up from the bundled lens, the image quality is suberb, the stabilisation feature facilitates crystal clear images at max zoom setting.
The lens has a good quality construction. It's fast to focus, but with low light it has some difficulties on focusing. On 17mm the distotion is very visible. The image stabilizer works very well. The image contrast is very good. The image do not suffers much on side lighting. The range of 17-85mm is very useful on many different situations.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Great walkabout/travel lens. With great image quality, if your looking to have one lens to carry around with you, that's affordable and gives you good results then this is the lens to go for on canons cropped sensor range
Is OK!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
