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 Wei-Yin Chang ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expectations were not met, average quality.

After filming mountain bike competitions, I realized that the lens should be sold and bought 24-105, even if there is no wide angle, but this one only gives normal pictures at iso200 in clear weather . In general, taking into account the average price of 14.5 thousand, the lens is 3+. It makes sense to take it as a kit lens for the first year while you are studying.

Pros
  • Not bad as a kit lens. It fits comfortably in the hand, the zoom and focus rings are groped right away =)
Cons
  • Construction type "trunk" =) Over time, begins to move out in a vertical position. Dark, but that's to be expected. Rubs on the short end. In poor lighting, it cannot focus (I tried up to 1 specific point with flash illumination - it hit 4 times)
