Canon EF 24-85 mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
11. Summary
- very small vignetting
- perfect autofocus
- good antireflective coatings
- acceptable distortion
- solid and not overly big body with a metal bayonet
- reasonable price (especially for used models)
Cons:
- weak resolution at 85mm focal length
- visible coma
Because there is still a lack of a good kit lens substitute, the Canon EF 24-85mm is a good solution for people who decide to resign from a very wide angle lens. They receive a solid lens with good optical parameters, which can also be used with an analog camera and, in the future, with our long awaited Canon 5D (or its successor). Then we can proudly look down at the owners of small detector EF-Ss, AF-Ss or Sigmas, who will be getting rid of their worthless lenses and will enviously be looking at our Canon.
