Review on Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 Image Stabilized USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR Cameras - White Box (Bulk Packaging) by Chong Won ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

in general, my friends, he got me used for 6000. before me, he was tormented for 3-4 years, there was a lot of dust and hair under the front lens (another minus of it) for 4 years the old man served me faithfully, about 40,000 frames were shot on him, yes, yes!))) and here in this year - BOOM! and the diaphragm cable broke (((I knew about it and was ready. in my opinion, this glass is well suited for reporting (smart AF) with powerful external puff. the hole is narrow))) for an art photo, you need straight arms and brains to understand how light works. I do not recommend it! especially to replace the kit 18-55, in my opinion the kit is better, if not constructive, but optically definitely better.

Pros
  • real stub! appearance, good sharpness from 24mm. up to 70mm. well assembled.
Cons
  • poor sharpness at 85mm and none at all at 17mm. HA at a wide angle (17mm) is a very contrasting picture - it does not draw penumbra well.
