I just got the camera and lens today for a steal!

I really want to get a efs 17-85 to replace the 18-55.

If you're looking for more reach, the 18-135 STM is a much better lens.

what do you think?

It could certainly use more DOF (use a smaller aperture).  And improving the lighting will make a big difference.
