"Barrel Distortion" 2010-07-18
By J. Street (U.K.)
Not a bad lens but very poor for architecture photography due to extreme barrel distortion at the wide end, as has been reported by another reviewer. I know that this can be fixed in photoshop to some extent but I would much prefer to have better results straight out of the camera.
"Shabby optics at widest settings" 2010-06-28
By F41 (Worcestershire, UK)
This is a decent enough all round lens, and certainly an improvement over the kit lens, but I bought it to use primarily in the widest end of its zoom range and at 17mm, the image quality is quite poor. It's a strange one because zoom in a bit, and it's a really good lens, producing clear images, but at 17-18mm, there is significant distortion and chromatic aberration to the point that some images have needed significant Photoshop work to remove the colour fringing.
The image stabiliser doesn't seem hugely useful in a lens this wide and I think I'd be better served by a bigger aperture. If I was in the position to make the choice again, I'd probably forego the extra mm and get the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 EX DC instead for similar money.
"Fantastic kit lens replacement." 2010-05-10
By C. Gabbitas (Notts, UK)
I bought this lens as a replacement for the kit lens on my 400d and i couldn't be happier. After weeks of searching the right lens i chose the canon above the sigma and am happy i did. I'm sure the sigma produces good quality images but i just felt the build quality of this lens was worth the extra.
"Good walkaround lens but there are better alternative" 2010-04-03
By Claude L. Sadik
I bought this lens to replace my Canon 550D 18-55mm IS kit lens. I've only been using it for the last few days and mainly for video. The 17-85mm range, makes it a good walk-around lens.The USM is fast and discreet. The image stabilization is very efficient. However I would have prefer a wider aperture. 4.0-5.6 is barely enough. While filming the focus ring is pretty smooth which is not the case of the zoom ring - a bit choppy while used slowly. The overall construction quality is OK but could be better.
It does what I expect it to do but not more, I'll probably replace it as soon as I have enough money.
If you want to upgrade from the kit lens, there should probably be a better choice for the same price.
"A Great Upgrade and Big Improvement on the 18-55mm Kit Lens" 2010-03-08
By John H (UK)
This lens while quite expensive is a very worthwhile investment. Its 17-85mm zoom range will effectively upgrade your camera to a 5x zoom.
The kit lens offers 18-55mm (just over 3x) so with this in mind you are starting off from a slightly wider angle coupled with a much stronger zoom. Also you get image stabilization along with much better quality glass, the improvement in picture quality is very worthwhile. I would say my camera now spends over 90% of its time with this lens attached. The only downside is that this solid lens is much heavier than the flimsy plastic kit lens.
