so far so good,caught a 2 year old in action and low light!

old f3.5-5.6 wasn't fast enough to catch a 2 year old... this seems to have done the trick in low light! haven't really tried it out apart from that due to work and foul weather! so far so good! replacing kit lens.
Pros:
  • Sharp Focus
  • Strong Construction

This is my second copy of this lens!

I bought this new 17-55 f/2.8 IS lens to replace a previous one I purchased in early 2011. Over 7+ years I took about 16,000 images with the previous lens, about 1/4 of all my photos. The previous lens stopped focusing about a year ago.

Stunning

I've used this on a 50D and 7D mkII; it produces first class results on both.I'm sure if it were an EF lens and not an EF-S lens, it would have a red ring and be an L lens - the quality is that good

Fantastic lens with wide angle that works for EF-S cameras.

Nothing much to say. It's a great piece of glass that didn't get the "L" ring because it's EF-S, not because it's image quality lacks. Makes low-light photos easy with stabilization.

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 17-55mm 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...
