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 Hideo Masuda ᠌

Went like a whale. A good lens for reportage shooting (you definitely need a flash), but for artistic shooting (which I gravitate towards more) it is not very suitable due to the specific study of shadows and an uninteresting pattern. I'm going to change to Sigma 17-70 or 17-50 Different pros: + Convenient focal range + Fast and accurate focusing + Focus distance scale + Good stabilizer + There is a macro, albeit with a slight increase Its cons: - Sharpness at extreme values ​​\u200b\u200bis so-so – Darkish – Poor penumbra, too strong contrast in the photo - Expensive for its capabilities – Vacuum cleaner
