I got the Aus equivalent of ~200 Euro back on my 17-85IS, and I still
think
it was way overpriced compared to many other lenses. Thankfully the number
of competing camera's with built in IS has caused Canon to reduce the
price
premium for IS on their latest kit lenses.
Let's face it, the 17-85IS is not L series quality. If it wasn't for
Photoshop lens correction it would be almost unusable at 17mm IMO.
