Cons:
- None so far

Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 USM IS - Retest @ 15MP / Review
The lens is often considered as an upgrade path from the basic EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS kit zoom. Obviously it adds quite a bit of range, a 2nd generation image stabilizer and a ring-type USM drive with full-time manual focusing.

Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Review
Boasting an impressive 5x zoom range this is a versatile lens. It also benefits from both image stabilisation and an ultrasonic motor, together with an extended focusing range that is proclaimed via the ‘macro' moniker on the lens barrel.
Pros:
- Solid feel and 5x zoom range
Cons:
- Barrel distortion
- wide-aperture resolution

Love it!
I purchased this lens looking for something that was powerful enough to capture candid close-ups, vivid landscapes and action photos. The 17-85MM is by far my favorite lens in my camera bag. It's a versatile, compact and easy to handle.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable
- Lightweight
- Quick Focus
- Sharp Focus

Canon EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 Image Stabilized USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLR's
I suspect that a lot of people who read reviews for this lens currently have the kit lens and are looking for that next upgrade. That was the situation I was in when I got this lens.

Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM was release in mid-August of 2004 and on APS-C type cameras, for which it was specifically designed, has a field of view equivalent to that of a 27-136mm lens on a full-frame camera.

When new this is a brilliant lens. Sharp images and fantastic wide to telephoto range. I'm on to my second one of these lenses on my 40D, the first accumulated small particles of dust between the elements and the second one has done the same over a period of a year.
