Enjoy true wide-angle to tele-coverage with the EF-S 17-85 mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Zoom Lens from Canon. Incorporated with Canon’s Image Stabilization (IS) system, it facilitates up to three stops slower and safe hand-holding, allowing clear and sharp picture shots even in low-light levels. The Aspheric element with two Aspherical surfaces provides excellent optical performance. With closest focusing distances of 1.15 ft, this zoom lens is ideal for use in applications where portability is an important consideration. In addition, the ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) enables fast and silent Auto Focusing (AF) along with full-time manual focus when in the Auto Focusing (AF) mode. Less

CANON EF-S 17-85mm IS USM: Digital SLRs Only!

by theuerkorn , Jan 6, 2005

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 USM - Good for BEGINNERS

by soupcraze , Dec 16, 2007
Pros: Cheap; Light-Weight; Decent Focal Length Rang
Cons: Poorer Image Quality; Durability?
The Bottom Line: The lens is good for beginners, but not for semi-professionals. If you spend a little more money, you can get a much better lens, by giving up the wide end.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I purchased my first SLR camera fairly recently, a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi. It came with the Canon EF-S 18-55mm kit lens. I sold the lens after using it for a couple of weeks for a Canon EF 28-105mm f3.5-4.5 USM lens (The GOOD one,...
