I've used a 17-85mm before,and was disappointed (comparing with the kit lens) after putting a filter on. As soon as a I removed the UV filter (Hoya multicoated UV filter, not a cheap one), I was surprised with the sharpness of the lens (compared to 18-55). UV filters only do harm in my opinion.

I had the 17-85IS when I first got my 30D and put the Kenko Pro protector filter on it from day #1 - no issues with image IQ deterioration at all....but it kept dust out....right up until I sold it.

Good little lens, that one!
