    Wow guys thanks for such the fast response! Yeah this was another issue I didn't like about the 17-85 that put me off... Plus I heard issues with image quality at 17 which to be honest is likely to be my most common use when it comes to taking pics of the landscapes in Patagonia! :D Im gonna...

    Hi all, I am soon to depart on travels which will give me a lot of potential for some stunning landscapes and as such I am thinking of upgrading my standard Canon 18-55mm Lens that came with the Kit with my 400D. I was on the verge of getting the Canon 17-85 IS USM until I read comments...
