A Great Upgrade Lens
This large-aperture EF-S Series standard zoom lens features an optical system consisting of 19 lens elements in 12 groups. A class Canon lens, this is one on the expensive side. A great upgrade lens, pictures taken will be crisp clear.

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens - BRAND NEW review
This versatile standard zoom lens can cover everything from landscapes and cityscapes through to group, full-body and head-and-shoulders portraits. Although larger and heavier than Canon’s cheaper EF-S kit zooms, it affords greater control over depth of field for working with selective focus...

Great for overhead food photography
I wanted an ultra sharp lens with a fairly wide angle for food photography and this does the job. A Not as sharp as the EFS-35mm I also bought but pretty close. The lens is beautifully built, fairly heavy (which I like actually) due to the thick heavy lens glass.

Excellent Lens!
This is an excellent lens! The image quality with is lens is brilliant even wide open at f/2.8. The focus is very fast and quiet and It has full-time manual focus. The image stabilisation comes in handy when shooting hand held. What more could you want?
Pros:
- Superior build quality
- Super-sharp images
- Fast auto-focus

Canon EF-S 17-55 f2.8 IS USM
Canon makes two distinct lens ranges. The EF lenses will fit any of the EOS bodies, but the EF-S lenses will only fit Canons with the smaller APS-C sized sensor. That includes the EOS 1000D, 400D, 450D, 40D and new 50D.

Best all around lens
The optical quality of this lens is excellent. It allows you zoom from 17-55mm at a constant f2.8. Other zoom lenses will change the aperture but it can hold this constant as you zoom so it does not change your timing. The wide aperture makes it great for shooting parties indoors.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Nice Bokeh
Cons:
- Heavy

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
The Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM ($1,179 direct) is the top-end standard zoom lens for Canon APS-C cameras. Rebel D-SLRs are generally bundled with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens that, while quite sharp, has a relatively slow f-stop, often requiring you to use the camera's flash in...
