My friend's got a 17-85 and I swear to god he got one of the BEST copies evermade... at 70mm his lens is just as sharp as some L lenses, I kid you not.

It really depends on sample variation and what "copy" you happend to get... if it's good, then it's REALLY good.

Go buy from a store and try out 2 or 3 copies, and get the one that seems to be the sharpest at the focal range that you'll be using the most.
