Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 Image Stabilized USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR's
Customer Review: Soft With Horrible Vignetting
Summary: 1 Stars
I just purchased this lens and I noticed horrible vignetting through the viewfinder the second I mounted it to my camera. I ran some tests at all focal lengths and apertures which confirmed my initial observation.
The vignetting is unbelievable at 17mm. I've been a photographer for 35 years and I've NEVER seen a lens this bad.
This is unacceptable for any lens, much less a Canon branded lens.
The vignetting is not the only problem. There is nothing sharp about this lens except when stopped down.
Pardon me, but if I buy a 17mm f4.0 lens is it too much to ask that I actually be able to use it at this focal length and aperture?
I'm returning this lens immediately.

Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 Image Stabilized USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR's
Great optics. Excellent image stabilization performance. Covers the focal length range I use most. I cover the rest with the Canon 70-300 mm IS.
Customer Review: Favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
Shooting live events, dimly lit events, kids running around, candid portraits, this is my favorite of my 5 lenses, for the image stabilization and the zoom range. I've even had blurry (shake) photos with my f1.4 50mm, and switched to the 17-85 IS to fix the problem.Customer Review: Simly great all-round lens.
Summary: 5 Stars
Canon has totally redesigned their lenses for digital photography. This lens is superior in all aspects, contrast, sharpness and clarity. I did not buy the 'kit' lens that normally comes with the Canon Rebel cameras, opting to use an older EF lens until I could get this Image Stabilized lens. I'm very glad I did.Customer Review: great upgrade lense
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a perfect lense to get when you are ready to replace the kit 18-55. A great all around lense.
