Condition:
Canon 17-85 lens with 2 filters. One of the filters has been fitted to the lens from new. The Canon EOS 20D that I purchased with a few other items including the Canon 28-300 lens had very limited use, and I do not recall ever having used this lens at all, so the lens is in virtually new condition. The lens comes in its original box.

About this product
Product Information
Equivalent to a 28-135mm lens, this EF-S lens brings true wide-angle to tele coverage to EOS 20D 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.Product Identifiers

So far it's great!
The Canon ef-s 17-85mm lens has a bad reputation for failing because of a ribbon that breaks after zooming repeatedly. I bought a used one a couple of years ago which had to be returned for this reason. I thought I would try again as the seller said the ribbon had been replaced when the lens was renovated by him. So far the lens is superb with no faults! I like the focal length range and the build quality (apart from the ribbon issue). It is a fairly weighty lens but balances well on a Canon 500D using a battery grip for more support.Verified purchase: Yes

Fine for a cheap lens.
This is my third example of these. Over time the first two developed the notorious electrical-ribbon failure. This one has a non-functioning 'Auto- Manual-focus' switch. The lens is a decent enough performer when it works but there are clearly some inherently fundamental flaws in its basic design.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

All Round lens
Hi This is my most used lens, it stayes on the camera for about 90% on the time, Po used for Land and Seascapes, Flowers, Portrates,andmany other subjects that come my way. Just reasently it faild, due to Error 01, but this has not put me off using this Lens, I do think Canon should be responsible for the repair, it must be a design fault, Looking on utube this can be repaired by yourself, if you are of that mind, just a replacement of the apeture Flex Cable, and some small screwdrivers, For about £20 its better than sending it back to Canon as it will cost you £200, I have Ordered the parts and now waiting before going ahead with the repair, in the mean time I purchased one from ebay for around £70, then I will have 2.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Canon EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS USM Lens
A good lens which I prefer to the standard lens usually supplied with a Canon DSLR camera. Focus is quick and accurate and picture quality is very good. I really like it and enjoy using it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Best Walkaround Lens for Amateur Photographers
It is always difficult to decide what your go-to lens should be. It should cover a reasonable range, be decently sharp and focus quickly and accurately. The Canon 17-85 lens does all this and more. It feels like the perfect range for wandering about in a garden, say, or along the coast. Of course you will need a longer lens from time to time. But for 90% of shots this lens does it, and does it well. I took a really sharp close-up shot of a robin which contained a huge amount of detail with this. The lens is also fairly resistant to flare. All lenses have their detractors and indeed all lenses have their faults. All I can say is that I have not discovered any in my own use of this lens, which I think by the way is far superior to similar Nikon offerings in this range. The Nikon 18-105 is physically weak, is flimsy and often less than sharp at either extreme of the zoom range. The Canon just gets better and better towards the longer end, and this suits me. If you want a better wide angle performance, best get a specialist wide angle zoom. The lens is well made, has full time manual focus and a clear distance scale, smooth focussing, easy zooming and overall has a great quality feel. All this for under £100. You can't really go wrong.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best upgrade from standard Lens
It’s not blind like standard kit lens, you see values of focusing points, much wider focal length and on top you got image stabilityVerified purchase: Yes
