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 Byoung Woon Bak ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not a good product, not worth the money.

bought in a kit with 60d. I took it to shoot a wedding, I usually shoot with fixes, but to quickly shoot the dynamics of the plot of the ransom on the forest platforms of Khrushchev, I decided to use a zoom with a wider angle - I was hungry, 90% of the frames from it are defective, where I didn’t hit, where there is soap, where there are such distortions, what you pull, pull, but you can’t pull out, you can’t use it indoors in poor lighting without an external flash. As a result, the lens was successfully presented to the daughter of a friend and forgotten like a bad dream, and 24-105 stood in its place, to which there are no complaints to this day. Conclusion - the lens is good as a gift for a novice photographer, who has nothing to compare with yet. Although I would advise starting with cheaper, but better quality fixes - EF 50, and on crop it is more preferable for focal EF 35

Pros
  • there is a stub
Cons
  • -dark - due to large distortions, a wide angle cannot be used for landscape shooting -poor design (trunk falls out) -a vacuum cleaner - image quality is terrible
