I bought this with my 350D instead of getting the 18-55 kit lens, and have been quite happy with it.
If you expect it to match a $1000 lens then you're going to be gravely disappointed, but the 17-85 is a great compromise between functionality and price. If you're wanting a good, reasonable quality, versatile mid-range lens without spending a fortune, then this one's worth looking at.
