Lens Description

The Canon EF-S 17-85mm F/4-5.6 IS USM is a wide to short telephoto zoom designed for cameras with a APS-C (1.6X) sensor. This variable-aperture zoom covers a 17 to 85mm focal-range. It provides the same field of view as a 27.2-136mm lens on a Full-Frame camera. An optical Image Stabilization System built into this lens compensates for camera shake.

This 5X zoom lens focuses down to 35cm from the imaging plane, capturing subject with a maximum 0.2X magnification. The lens offers a Quick-Shift AF system which lets the user simply rotate the focus-ring to focus manually. A Super-Sonic motor inside the lens delivers very fast and relatively quiet AF.

The lens weighs 475g.

This lens is only available for the Canon EF mount. It directly attaches and is fully compatible with all Canon EF mount cameras with APS-C (1.6X) sensors.
