Digital camera reviews of Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 Image Stabilized USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR's
Digital camera Review: A Great Starter Lens
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this lens when I purchased my 20D. It's infinitely better than the garbage 18-55 that normally comes in the kit. It's a great lens for a beginner because of it's great image quality and decent price. It covers quite a bit of range making it a good afternoon walk around lens. Notice I didn't say evening or morning because it's far to slow for that, even with the IS.
I take this lens hiking with me, and can get some great shots because of it's wide range, I also take it to family events and other things like that. Wildlife and action photographs are a no-no with this lens, it simply can't zoom far enough and isn't fast enough if the conditions are dim which commonly occur in both situations.
If you get this lens, you won't be disappointed, I promise. You will however be slightly disappointed with the speed and how IS doesn't make up for as much as you might think with slow shutters.
A 70-200L is great to complementary lens.
Overall, super good lens, just wish it was 2.8 all the way through. :)
