Excellent lens for amature and enthusiast
It is a great general purpose lens for every day photography ,fast focus ,great picture details with low light capability . With lens hood it it has a wow factor ! But some how EF 50mm f/1.4 usm is more practical and easy to use if wide angle is not your need of the hour !

Excellent Lens
I bought this lens in October of 2013 for my T2i and I love it. It's the only lens I have for my camera but I think it's worth the upgrade from the kit lens that comes with the T2i. Great all-round general purpose lens.

Great, but EF-S
This is a very good lens. The UD (ultra dense glass) element helps to correct colours and it is quite sharp. The aperture at f/2.8 is wonderful. It is pretty sharp wide open, and typically great around f/8-11 (though most lenses are) It has IS which is not all that necessary at this kind of range as...

The best lens for Rebel cameras.
This is the best glass aside from the 10-22mm you can get for your Rebel. I have been able to borrow a friends lens and the clarity of the photos you will get from this far outweigh the cost.
Pros:
- daily walk around lens
- portraits

Great canon Lens
I have always been a canon user but have never been satisfied with the system when it went digital. My ef lenses never worked quite right and the ef-s lenses left a lot to be desired. This ef-s lens makes a great difference. It is well made, fast and gives crystal clear images.
Pros:
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
A quality modern mid range zoom for 1.6x crop with all the bells and whistles, constant F2.8, IS & USM. A bit soft at wide end at 2.8 which becomes sharper at f4. Like to see this lens upgraded to L quality for around the same price. Shoots good images but so does the 17-85 at f4.
Pros:
- Good images
- IS
- mid range zoom
Cons:
- Little Soft wide @2.8

The best non-L lens for Canon APS-C camera photographers.
The 17-55mm is on my camera 90% of the time. I love this lens! I highly recommend this to every Canon crop sensor camera owner from entry level to semi-Pro (EOS 7D) who are after image quality. This lens can produce the output quality of an L lens (i.e.
Pros:
- - Fast and bright f/2.8 aperture with IS and USM
- No other lens in the Canon EFS Line up can match this (so far) - Sharp pictures wide open from edge to edge (best @ f/5.6 up to f/11 if focusing is done correctly).
Cons:
- - Not weather sealed - Can be susceptible to dust accumulation in front element (if reviews in the net are to be believed)
- I don't put UV filters on my lenses, but for this lens I didn't want to risk the lens collecting dust, a filter will complete the dust sealing.
