★★★★★  great lens
Date posted : Tuesday, Oct 29 2019

The Canon 17-85 lens is now my favorite walk-around lens. It has the flexibility for all the field requirements that I need when out in the wilderness. I can take the overall wide angle shot and then get right in there for the close-up, detail shot. I was recently out shooting wildflowers in Anza-Borrego and this was the perfect lens. I never had to switch lenses for any shot. I wish I had this lens back in '05 for the great wildflower season! I almost fee the macro is unnecessary because I can get in extremely close and seatill keep the focus I need. For the price, you can't beat it.

Does what is should. Arrived in excellent condition. Its slightly narrow for my needs, but that wasn't the lens or the sellers fault. I should have purchased a different lens.

This is an ideal all-around lens. 85mm is great for portraits while 17mm creates a beautiful wide angle shot. The f-stop bottoms out at 4-5.6 but the IS makes up for this. For the money, this is a great lens for 1.6 crop cameras.I give the lens 4 stars because there is some CA at 17mm, but depending on the subject its hardly ever noticed. In fact, I love using this lens at 17mm, at that zoom, you can get much more creative aw-inspiring images.

Performs as you would expect from a quality lower end Canon lens.

★★★★★  Highly recommend

I recently purchased this lens as a complement to the other two IS lenses I have. The  Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras  and the  Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras .The IS function allows a 2 to 3 stop slower shutter speed. Fantastic when shooting where flash is not allowed or where you want the extra depth of field a smaller aperature will give you.As a bonus it has Macro capabilities.See my images under user images...

★★★★★  Great everyday lens
Date posted : Monday, Jul 15 2019

This lens is great. It's the only lens I use. The only problem is that it's so easy to use and takes such great photos, that I'm thinking of spending more money and getting a faster lens. This doesn't take away from the versatility of this lens, just that I'm getting more excited about photography and will move to the next level.
