CANON EFS 17-85MM F/4 -5.6 IS USM image stabilizer LENS

Canon EF-S 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens (used)

Includes original packaging and manual.

A great all-round lens for your Canon EOS Camera. The Canon EF-S 17-85MM f4-5.6 IS USM Lens is possibly the best single lens to own with your Canon Digital SLR Camera.

Equivalent to a 28-135mm lens, this EF-S lens brings true wide-angle to telephoto coverage to EOS digital cameras. 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. Circular aperture design - natural highlights, even stopped down two stops.

·         Compact and lightweight standard zoom lens specifically for digital SLR's that accept EF-S lenses

·         Uses optics designed to take advantage of the small image circle to give a 17-85mm (equivalent to a focal length of 27-136mm in 35mm format), 5x zoom ratio

·         Image Stabilizer gives the equivalent effect of a shutter speed three stops faster

·         Inner focusing, ring USM and new AF algorithms for fast and quiet autofocusing

·         Double-sided, aspherical lens element (GMo) for high image quality at all focal lengths

·         Optimized lens coating minimising flare and ghosting prone occurring with digital cameras

·         Minimum focusing distance of 0.35m at all focal lengths

·         Circular aperture for beautiful out-of-focus images

·         Only environmentally friendly lead free glass used in optics
