A good indoor low-light lens
My most shots are outdoor of plants and wildlife. Recently, I shoot some indoor activities, such as musicals, plays, meetings, awards, etc. I use the lens with Canon T4i camera. I am struggling and learning. I had some good shots and some not so good shots.

Lens lives up to its reputation.
Pros: Fast / accurate auto-focus, Consistent Output Cons: Other thoughts: I've been using a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 lens for a number of years but really wanted a lens that focused faster and more accurately, especially in low light.

Sharp as a tack
This lens is fast and sharp. It replaced a Tamron 17-50 DiII VC. Incredible difference especially in low light. The only thing I miss is the zoom lock, but I can live.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Nice Bokeh
Cons:
- Lens Creep

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
The Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM is the fastest standard zoom dedicated to Canon's APS-C DSLRs, and is designed to be an upgrade for disgruntled kit lens owners who want better image quality.

surprisingly good!
This lens, even with the EF-S format and inferior build quality, produces surprisingly good images, outcompeting even such "L" lens as 24-105/4 L IS USM. Particularly related to chromatic aberrations which in this lens are neglegible.
Pros:
- Super-sharp images
Cons:
- Poor build quality

Highly reccommended All my reviews
For those buying a brand new Canon DSLR I would certainly recommend this over the standard kit lens. Faster glass is always worth the extra investment.

Great beginner starter Mid zoom lens
This lens while being a bit expensive is worth every penny. While being extremely sharp and a constant 2.8 this lens is above any 17-50 lens out there in its class.
Pros:
- Constant 2.8 throughout the whole zoom range
Cons:
- Nothing
