I have been shooting for about 1 year and immediately took this lens. And to be honest, I don't regret it. Sometimes it happens when he just infuriates me, for example, when he smears a running dog or yellows photos despite the BB. In general, a good thing, believe me, for this money you will not find a better option than 17-85. It is perfect for landscape photography, because. wide-angle, makes good portraits, I love to shoot flowers on it - a fairy tale is simple. If you are interested in the lens or you just want to see what it can do in human hands, please go to my gallery and you will see everything for yourself - ww. Mar-ros. Gallery. Ru
