So far works as advertized

I purchased the 17-55mm about a month ago, and was very happy with the quality of images the lens produced. I like night photography and the f/2.

Absolutely great on a crop body
I got this lens with my EOS 50D instead of the kit lens. It is a fine lens and, if you have a crop (non-full frame) sensor like a 50D or 40D or Rebel XSi, it is the best choice…

AF, IQ, IS, Contrast, edge to edge sharpness, consistency, definitely in the L league.
Con:
For the price, the flair problem, the plastic used, the…

Good, but not exceptional
This lens is good, but not what I had hoped for for $1000. The image stabilization is excellent, the focusing is good, and the sharpness is excellent at the center and good on the…
