Is 85mm a wide angle lens?

How many times zoom is 135mm?

The Canon EF-S 18–135mm lens is a standard to short telephoto telezoom for Canon digital single-lens reflex cameras with an EF-S lens mount. The field of view has a 35 mm equivalent focal length of 29–216mm. With its 7.5× zoom range, it is placed into the superzoom category.

Is the canon 17-85 is equivalent to the EF 28-135?

Since the Canon EF-S camera bodies feature a 1.6x field of view crop factor, the 17-85 IS has the equivalent field of view/framing to a 27.2-136mm lens on a full-frame camera body – nearly equivalent to the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens . My observations are that this lens also performs optically similar to the 28-135.
