Details on the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS USM zoom lens with Image Stabilizer
Canon EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS USM zoom lens with Image Stabilizer
Overview (As per Canon)

Equivalent to a 28-135mm lens, this new EF-S lens brings true wide-angle to tele coverage to EOS 20D and Digital Rebel shooters. It has Canon's Image Stabilization system, allowing safe hand-holding at speeds up to three stops slower than otherwise possible. And of course, it's optically optimized for digital SLRs. A ring-type USM means both fast and silent AF, as well as full-time manual focus when in the AF mode.

Features
- Compact, lightweight design with a 5x zoom ratio
  (28 to 135mm equivalent)
- Excellent optical quality: Aspheric element with
  two Aspherical surfaces utilized
- Close-focusing to 1.15 feet -- at 135mm, fills the frame with subject 3 x 4.4 inches
- Ring-type Ultrasonic motor for superior AF performance; allows full-time MF
- Image Stabilization extends the lens's usefulness in low-light levels
- Circular aperture design -- natural highlights, even stopped down two stops

A tribute to true heroes
 
Quote: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover"   - Mark Twain -
