Having owned the 17-85 lens for a couple of years or so I can report that it is a good companion to my 450D. It is solidly constructed (made in Japan), feels good in my hands, has a most useful range, and Image Stabilisation. The price seems very fair for a lens that can fill so many roles, it works very well with my 430 EX II flash, producing some excellent pictures. I rented a 17-40 L lens for a week as I was curious to see if there was a big difference between it and the 17-85. The resulting images from test shots showed that the 17-85 was no slouch, and had the extra range on the more expensive lens. Highly recommended.

This was my first venture into a good lens that replaced the stock 18-55 on a Canon 500D. Admittedly I only bought a second hand one which is like mint so I did save quite a lot for a great lens.
I was going to go for the new 15-85 but the £500+ put me off. I am now very glad I did not go for the latest one and the reviews on the 17-85 (IMPO) seem a tad unfair. It is a tad heavy yes, but it seems really well constructed and the quality of each image has astounded me. They are full, crisp, razor sharp right across the board.
Colours seem a tad vivid but that is simple enough to deal with as a RAW in post editing which takes no more than a minute at best. I think it is hugely underrated and dont agree with what digital camera that for the price there are better lenses around.
