It is a Canon EF-S 17-85mm f\/4-5.6 IS USM lens.  All that stuff essentially means it is good :).  The EF-S part means it is one of Canon's lenses designed for the APS-C sized CMOS sensor found in the Digital Rebels, 20D, and 30D.  The IS means it has in-lens image stabilization to reduce shake and allow for sharper hand held photos.  Lastly, the USM means it has an ultrasonic motor to handle focusing in a very quiet and fast way.  This lens is quite a step up for me and will effectively replace two of my other lenses.
