The Canon EF-S 17–85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM is a standard zoom lens for Canon digital single-lens reflex cameras with an EF-S lens mount. The EF-S designation means it can only be used on EOS cameras with an APS-C sensor released after 2003. The field of view has a 35 mm equivalent focal length of 27.2–136mm, and it is roughly equivalent to the Canon EF 28-135mm lens on a 35mm film SLR.

The Canon EF-S 17–85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM is a standard zoom lens for Canon digital single-lens reflex cameras with an EF-S lens mount. The EF-S designation means it can only be used on EOS cameras with an APS-C sensor released after 2003. The field of view has a 35 mm equivalent focal length of 27.2–136mm, and it is roughly equivalent to the Canon EF 28-135mm lens on a 35mm film SLR.
The 17-85mm is bundled as a kit lens with the EOS 30D and EOS 40D and EOS 50D. It was also packaged with the EOS 400D (known as the Digital Rebel XTi in North America) as an alternate to the EF-S 18-55mm (typically labeled as the "400D enthusiast's kit").
The EF–S 17–85mm is a step up in build quality and in focal range compared to the EF-S 18-55mm lens. Its image quality is higher than the original and the Mark II versions of the 18-55mm lens. It is slower and has lower image and build quality compared to the EF-S 17-55mm lens, although it is cheaper and has a longer focal range.
