"Canon"
This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most products of this type, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend.
Pros:
- Good Value Product
Cons:
- Not many

I use to have the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8. I sacrificed the f2.8 max aperture for Canon L glass and build quality. I'm glad I did. My past Tamron accumulated much dust over its use and non-Canon lenses have poor resale value.
Pros:
- Weather-resistant construction
- Affordable L series lens
- Light weight
Cons:
- The lens hood blocks the built in flash in my former Canon 30D

Wedding Photographer's Dream Lens
[...] For weddings and outdoor photography, the focal length of this lens doesn't get any better. I had considered getting a comparable third brand lens (17-50 f2.8), but I ended up having to stop it down to f4 as it was soft wide open.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Rugged
- Strong Construction

Damn fine service
Hey thanks guys. We are a private New Zealand newspaper group and have just bought a lens for our photographers from Smifu. Yes we were nervous and did as much checking as we could before paying. Guess what? All went well.

To Josh
"I would disagree with Josh. You can't compare 17-40mm lens to 14-24mm lens and rate them. You are comparing apples and oranges. 17-40mm L is a great glass for its value."

Very sharp.
Using a test chart, I found the lens to be very sharp across the image at all focal lengths. The included picture is typical of my results and is a small part of the image from a Canon 5D Mark-II.<br /><br />The lens quickly snaps into focus and produces good closeups at the 40 mm setting.
Pros:
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight
- Sharp at all focal length
Cons:
- Barrel distortion

Pros- Build quality, sharpness, generally excellent image quality, relatively light weight Cons-none yet in my experience All my reviews
I bought this lens for my crop sensor 50D, as i wanted a 'semi-wide' angle lens for landscapes and general photography. The build quality is typical L-series (i.e. fantastic) and the lens balances well on the 50D's body.
