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.

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.

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2,8 USM IS - Retest @ 15mp / Review
As mentioned the lens is not a designated L grade lens and while this may not be really obvious based on the naked specifications it does show up with respect to its build quality.

The Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens is a fast lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.8, so you can use it to obtain a shallow depth-of-field or help with reasonable exposures in lowlight situations.

Great Focus and zoom
Perhaps I am fortunate that I haven't had a dust problem yet. I took the lens, as my only lens, to an outing in Utah and Arizona. Beautiful focus and color for the sandstone formations and the wide angle shot well for the landscapes.
Pros:
- Comparatively light
Cons:
- Doesn't come with a hood

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
Despite lacking the L branding this lens is a good quality item of kit, as indicated by its price. The build quality feels right with all the switches and rings having that positive smoothness of operation to them.
Pros:
- Good build quality with smooth operations
- Excellent Image Stabilisation
- Good image quality
- Popular Filter size
Cons:
- Expensive with no-upgrade path
- Distortion at the longer focal length
- Slightly bulky for focal range
