msowsun "approx 8mm"  More info | Jan 23, 2008 19:59 | #2 I really liked my 24-85 but I like my Sigma 17-70 even more. I found that 24mm wasn't wide enough on a 1.6 crop camera. I sold it for $200 to help pay for my Sigma 17-70. I find the Sigma sharper and it also has much better macro capability. At first I missed the USM and longer reach, but it didn't take long to get over it.

Citizensmith Cream of the Crop  More info | Jan 24, 2008 12:52 | #4 No photos to offer as I used it on a film body, but I had one of these lenses and was very happy with it. Well constructed, fast AF, good range, its basically the lens I most regret getting rid of. It makes a good walk around lens for folks who can't afford L prices. My POTN Gallery, Complete gear list,

msowsun "approx 8mm" More info | May 31, 2008 09:29 | #8 The 24-85 takes a EW-73 lens hood (bayonet mount) but uses 67mm filters. There are lots of hoods for sale on Ebay.
