Verdict
The Canon EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 USM exhibited a quite mixed performance. On the upside the lens is very sharp with very little vignetting throughout the range. Unfortunately distortions at 24mm are pretty hefty as are chromatic aberrations. The build quality is pretty decent and the AF performace is a joy. All-in-all the lens is capable to beat the cheapo EF-S 18-55mm as well as the EF-S 17-85mm IS and regarding sharpness it can even rival the the EF 24-70mm f/2.8 USM L (on APS-C). If the focal length range was more attractive here the lens would have been a killer but as such it is just a good compromise.

I read through both pages of the original article and went through all the test results. It is true EF 24-85mm f/3.5~4.5 is a not-too-bad lens according to the test results. But, the comments regarding the comparisons with the other lenses were not supported by any evidence. I would regard this paragraph a personal thought. And, it is a free world, everybody has the right to express one\'s opinion.
