First Pics out of my new 20D

[fluff]

Here are a few of my first set of pictures. The first one is one of a bunch I got of them playing, pretty neat pictures!! I think the 17-85 Kit Lens was a good choice.

also what do you mean 17-85 kit lens? isn't it 17-55?

[fluff]

I believe there are 2 kits, a 17-85 and a 18-55

So is the 17-85 better?

[fluff]

That, I dont know.

So is the 17-85 better?

Well it costs a heck of a lot more, so I hope it takes better pictures. I haven't tried either personally so can't speak from experience. But the 17-85 is an IS lens the other is not...

I guess he hated the lens kit :D

the 17-85 is many times better than the 18-55 (in my opinion). costs about 5 times more, too! ^_^

wow what a brave little dog, did you glue him to the floor? ahaha joking

The 17-85 has IS (Image Stabiliser) and is considered by some to be overly expensive. However, it's a bit better value if purchased as a kit lens with the camera.

Short answer to your question is yes the 17-85mm is a better lens and with most everything you pay for it being better. For the money, the kit 18-55mm is a decent lens but you WILL move up from the kit lens, trust me.

I always visit Fred Miranda's website to readup on lenses - I've found it a very valuable source of info. Have a search on google for fmreviews !

Best wishes,
