Canon EF-S 17-85mm gallery, with Canon EOS 350D / XT
The following images were taken with the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f4~5.6 IS USM lens
and the Canon EOS-350D / Digital Rebel XT. The recording
mode was set to Large / Fine, thereby using the full 8.0 megapixel resolution
and the least-compressed JPEG setting. The individual exposure mode, file
sizes, shutter speeds, aperture, ISO and lens focal length are listed for
each image.
The crops are taken from the original files, reproduced at 100% and saved
in Adobe Photoshop CS2 as JPEGs with the default Very High quality preset,
while the resized images were made in Photoshop CS2 and saved with the default
High quality preset. The three crops are typically taken from far left,
central and far right portions of each image.

Town square: 2.67MB, Program, 1/100, f7.1, ISO 200, Canon EF-S 17-85mm f4~5.6

This image of Prague's old town square was taken with the 17-85mm
EF-S at its widest focal length of 17mm and an aperture of f7.1.
The wide angle has allowed a large field of view to be captured,
but light fall-off / vignetting is visible in the upper corners,
even with the aperture closed by 1.6 stops.
The crops from the lower left and central portions of the image
are sharp and detailed, but the crop from a distant area on the
far right is quite soft. |

The photo of a stained glass window inside Prague Cathedral was
taken with the 17-85mm EF-S at 85mm and a wide-open aperture of
f5.6.
The Image Stabilisation system has once again proved effective,
allowing us to take a sharp image at a relatively slow shutter speed
of 1/40 considering the long focal length.
The crops are sharp and detailed, while the converging geometry
is easily corrected in Photoshop if desired. |

This wide view of the Charles Bridge with Prague Castle in the
background was taken with the 17-85mm EF-S at its widest focal length
of 17mm and an aperture of f10.
As you would expect at f10, the crops are sharp and detailed, although
again light fall-off / vignetting is apparent in the upper corners.
This is quite visible when composing through the viewfinder at
17mm and only avoidable if you zoom-in slightly. |
