Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens
Key Features
  • EF-S-Mount Lens/APS-C Format
  • 27.2-136mm (35mm Equivalent)
  • Aperture Range: f/4 to f/32
  • One Aspherical Element
Spanning a wide-angle to telephoto range, the EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM from Canon is a 27.2-136mm-equivalent zoom designed for EF-S-mount DSLRs. This reach is complemented by an optical design featuring one dual-sided aspherical element, which helps to minimize distortion and spherical aberrations in order to realize greater sharpness and clarity. A Super Spectra coating has also been applied that reduces flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy. The lens also features an Optical Image Stabilizer, which minimizes the appearance of camera shake by three stops to better enable shooting handheld in difficult lighting conditions. Additionally, a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor is featured, too, which affords quick, quiet autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override.

Is the focus ring on this lens mechanically ...

Is the focus ring on this lens mechanically connected to the inner workings or does the camera have to be turned on with the shutter button partially pressed to adjust focus manually?
Asked by: DUANE
There is a AF/MF switch on the lens. When it's on AF you have to press shutter half down to Auto Focus. When it's on manual, there's a ring right before the Zoom ring that you rotate to achieve focus.

No and do NOT BUY IT. I have TWO AND CANON CPS CANNOT REPAIR THEM due to their age which prohibits Canon from getting the parts. However, they were great lens, especially for indoor photography and photojournalism. I really enjoyed using them until the got focusing problems recently.
