Well I've sent my 17-85 off to Canon. I'm hoping they'll recallibrate it but I wouldn't be surprised if they say there's nothing wrong with it.<div>

I've just got the EF-S 17-85 and done some tests with the 18-55 kit

lens. The kit lens hs proved to be sharper at focal lengths below

50mm between f4 and f8.

Is it worth having the lens calibrated or is it an inherent trait of

this lens?

There's also lots of purple fringing below 50mm.

Thanks,

George
