Canon EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM - A Whole Different Kind of Animal

Pros Amazing Image Quality; Amazing Versatility; Very Good Build Quality; Image Stabilization
Cons Not L-Build Quality; Can't Use Onboard Flash; Not Compatible with Full-Frame Bodies;...
Recommended it? Yes

An EF-S lens. $1,000. I told myself repeatedly that I would not buy it. I mean come on, a non-L series lens for this much money? You have got to be kidding me? After killing myself over the decision between the Canon EF 24-105mm F4L IS USM and the Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8L USM lenses, I somehow ended... Read full review »

Cons heavy, easy to get fingerprints on, pricey
Recommended it? Yes

Like so many people, I bought this to replace my kit lens. In my case that's the 18-55mm IS associated with the XSI. The main issue I had with that lens was the variable (and small) aperature.  I wanted constant 2.8 without sacrificing zoom or IS. That's what you get here. 

The kit lens is... Read full review »

I purchased the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens primarily for my wedding photography business.  This lens has proven to be more valuable to me than I ever could have imagined.

The images it produces are very sharp.  I use this lens in my studio now because it really brings out sharp,... Read full review »

Nearly "L" quality at a full "L" price

Pros Very fast, Canon's best Image stabilization, L quality color.
Cons Excessive price and weight.
Recommended it? Yes

The Canon 17-55 IS lens seems to be a bit of a conundrum. Priced in "L" territory the 17-55 falls short in a few key areas that will leave veteran photogs scratching their heads trying to figure out just what Canon was thinking.

This new lens is currently the best, professional class lens... Read full review »

Pros Nice range, IS
Cons Kind of expensive
Recommended it? Yes

This lens is a nice, sharp piece of glass, but for the price, you can do MUCH better in the Canon line.

If you are replacing a 'kit' lens, you will be floored by the difference- There is simply NO comparison. However, placed side by side with an "L" series, you will be disappointed. It... Read full review »

It carries a L lens price tag and it is made of some L lens elements. Very sharp across the f/stops even wide open at 2.8... Comparable to 24-70/2.8L and 17-40/4L sharpness at the corresponding widest apreture. Focus is very fast and zoom ring is smooth.

IS on this lens is very useful... Read full review »

Pros I/S, durable, excellent for low light shots.
Cons heavy, pricy, lens hood not included.
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this lens to use with my 40D. It is the only lens I have right now. I did a lot of research before purchasing it as the price tag was rather steep. I can honestly say I have no regrets. This lens, due its wide angle and zoom, is a great all purpose lens. My primary uses are... Read full review »
