that's true.. i only have the 18-55mm that came with the XTi.. i bought this back in June of 07 before my Asia trip... i haven't had time to buy or look at a new lens, but now i'm ready to buy.. i also think the 17-85 IS is perfect for me..

The size, zoom range/focal length, IS are what is great about the 17-85. I do not like the relatively high aperature though. 4.0 is too high for my type of shooting. It is a poor low light lens unless you are using a tripod or flash. Here's yet another review on it:

some are cheaper that are used.. but i rather buy a new one..

Don't be afraid to check out some of the Sigma EX lenses. They are good IMO and great values.
