Comments about Canon Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 USM IS Image Stabilized Autofocus Zoom Lens for EOS 20D and Digital Rebel Cameras - Gray Market:
I purchased this to replace and fill the gap between the 18-55mm Kit Lens and the 70-200mm f4.0 IS USM Tele-Zoom to use on my Canon XSi. Now wish I had bought the camera body and added this lens rather than the 18-55 kit lens. The build quality is not as good as L grade Canon lens but it's not nearly as expensive either. A good lens for a reasonable price. It also uses the same size filter (67mm) as the 70-200 f4.0 lens, so both lenses get a UV filter and can share the other filters. This halves the number of filters I have to carry around in my camera backpack.

Comments about Canon Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 USM IS Image Stabilized Autofocus Zoom Lens for EOS 20D and Digital Rebel Cameras - Gray Market:
Great Value. Excellent quality for a very good price. If you're not ready for an "L" series lens, this optically is very close. The only difference would be the light weight construction. Great all purpose lens to change out and up grade from the Kit lens that came with my Canon T1i .
