Great, reasonably priced walk-around Slr camera lens
This Canon ef lens is, I believe, one of the most under-rated in their line-up. Canon thinks enough of it to sell in the new kit packages and many people are discovering what a fine little lens it is. A major upgrade over the 18-55, this camera ef lens focuses quickly and accurately; it is relatively lightweight and fits nicely in any camera bag. The focal range is excellent for a general lens to just leave on your camera. For a little more information on how it can produce, go to luminous-landscape’s website and look at the canon lens reviews and canon review. That will show that raising your ISO will give this lens a chance to operate in very low light conditions. I owned this awhile back & was very happy with it; sold it when I decided I wanted a lens with a longer range. I got the 24-105–another fine lens but at more than double the cost! For my purposes it was all right; for my son, the 17 85mm has been excellent on his digital slr canon camera for all this time.

Not cheap but the only lens you’ll need
In my film days I shot only with prime lenses and never owned a zoom, the reason being zooms normally have smaller maximum apertures,often incorporate optical compromises, and shoot through more glass than a prime lens. That was then, this is now. Canon has overcome the small maximum aperture with the Image Stabilizer (IS). This means that if the camera tells you you can only shoot a particular scene at f/4 at 1/15th of a second which is very hard to shoot without blur, the IS compensates for the motion resulting from being handheld by actually moving the elements within the lens. The result is you can shoot at a much lower shutter speed and get away with it — a tremendous advantage for a lens that only goes down to f/4. The 17-85mm zoom range is equivalent to 28-135mm in 35mm. Seldom have I felt the need for either a wider or longer focal length and constantly switching lenses only adds to the dust problem inside the camera. And the image quality is superb as always. Canon optics have been ahead of Nikon optics for many years which accounts for why so many have made the switch from Nikon to Canon. And please don’t forget to order a UV filter with it. Put the filter on and never take it off.
