About the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens
The Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM is a general-purpose zoom designed for Canon's APS-C DSLRs. Its 17-85mm range covers wide-angle through to short telephoto, making it a practical walk-around lens for travel, landscapes, portraits and everyday shooting. Image Stabilisation helps keep handheld shots sharp in lower light, and the ring-type USM motor focuses quickly and quietly with full-time manual override. It is a step up from a basic kit lens in reach and build, and a sensible choice if you want one lens that covers most situations without changing optics.
