Editorial Review:

Product Description:
To meet user demands for a fast EF-S zoom lens, Canon has specially designed a new lens with a large aperture of f/2.8 for select Canon Digital SLR cameras. The large circular aperture produces a shallow depth-of-field, creating background blur that draws attention to the photographic subject. The lens construction includes UD and aspherical elements, which deliver impressive image quality throughout the entire zoom range. Image Stabilizer lens groups shift to compensate for camera movement so that the image appears steady on the image plane, ensuring clear, crisp images, even in dim light. With a Ring-type USM, inner focusing and new AF algorithms, this lens achieves autofocus quickly and quietly, and with full-time mechanical manual focusing, manually adjusting the focus is possible even in AF mode.

Amazon.com Product Description:
Designed to meet consumer demands for a fast EF-S zoom lens, the EF-S 17-55mm offers image quality on par with Canon's highly regarded L-series lenses. The lens features a large circular aperture that produces a shallow depth of field, creating background blur that draws special attention to the photographic subject. The lens construction, meanwhile, includes UD and aspherical elements that deliver impressive image quality throughout the entire zoom range. And thanks to the Image Stabilizer lens groups--which shift to compensate for camera shake--the image appears crisp and clear on the image plane, eve in dim light. Finally, the lens offers a ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM), inner focusing, and new AF algorithms to help achieve autofocus quickly and quietly, along with full-time mechanical manual focusing that makes it possible to manually adjust the focus even in AF mode. As with all Canon lenses, this lens carries a one-year warranty.

- Big and heavy ... but the best you can get for cropped sensors
I've been using this lens for about 6 months on 40D in a variety of conditions. Fairly dusty hikes and light rain. This lens has not failed to impress me. Sharp and fast. And I'm quite spoiled: I've sold 17-85 as it did disappoint me a few times in several respects and I own some of the sharpest primes. Also it has virtually no chromatic aberrations or distortion.

The only significant drawback of it is the size/weight. It's just too big for casual photography. It does inevitably attract ... Read More

- Dust !!!
First the positives. The lens optically is a good lens, it does sharp images, nice colors and all that stuff. But the big problem is dust that gets inside of the lens. After 9 months of usage there is so much dust inside that it makes the lens basically unusable. Do not undervalue this problem like I did. Or make sure you may eventually return the lens if there is a problem. The lens already came with 3 dust dots inside which wasn't such a big deal but you should see it now. I have 70-200 and 24-70 ... Read More

- Pricey, but worth it.
I bought this lens to use with the Canon 40D. It covers the wide end very well. The IS is fantastic; you can shoot hand-held down railroad tracks from the passenger side of the car while crossing them! AF is fast and quiet, and f/2.8 allows you to use this lens in almost any situation. Image quality is outstanding. Colors are vivid, images are super sharp, chromatics are imperceptible. I have no vignetting at all wide open.

Downside: size, weight, and cost. The size and weight are insignificant ... Read More

- I sold mine after one shoot, chromatic aberation the worst of all my lenses!
I wanted so badly to love this lens. True, it delivers performance that is pretty darned good (although not as nice as I had hoped) but the chromatic aberration is just unacceptable. Heck, shooting a brides dress in low contrast shade with a lens hood and no filters should not create bright, heavy bands of cyan, magenta and yellow. See the photo I added at the top for a typical example.Chromatic aberration was what kept me away from digital photography for so many years and this is the only lens I have that is ... Read More

- Canon EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS
This is a fantastic lens. The build quality is very good - the only noticeable difference between this and an L is the lack of a red ring. It's not quite up to my 70-200 f/2.8L, but what is? I have only 1 concern and 2 complaints about the lens. The concern is that it is an EF-S and not an EF. It's a not-insignificant investment for most people and will not work on full frame cameras. On a personal level, I'm not convinced that this will ever be an issue for me (especially with the 50D coming) as I won't ... Read More
