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 Goro Ueda ᠌

He served me faithfully for 5 years. And it would still work and work if it were not for the notorious diaphragm plume. Who says that he is a vacuum cleaner, do not believe. Dismantled - inside sterile cleanliness. Until it broke, I was very pleased with it. If canon corrected the design miscalculation with the cable, I would buy the same one again. Has some pros Ultrasonic focus motor. Stabilizer. Depth of field (although sometimes this is a drawback) Some cons: THE DIAPHRAGM LINE DIES IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE END OF THE WARRANTY! There is an obvious design flaw, but canon does not want to fix it. The lens hood must be purchased separately. Dark, with a filter, you need to move the exposure compensation a lot.
