About this product

Product Information

This lens from Canon is designed to meet user demand for a fast EF-S zoom lens. It has a large circular aperture which 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. A 3-stop Image Stabilizer ensures shake free shots and 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. Other key features of the Canon EF-S 17-55mm F/2.8 IS USM lens include minimum focusing distance of just 35cm, 77mm filer diameter, ultrasonic motor for fast, near-silent auto focus and a circular 7-blade diaphragm which helps produce attractive background blur.

The item shipped quickly and was packaged with care. It arrived without damage and is brand new as the seller described. If you, like me, had to make the decision between paying $330 to repair a broken lens or $320 to buy this bundle…get the bundle. You won’t be disappointed. Terrific seller. Will look to them again for other camera needs.

    This is a great all-around lens.

    If you want to upgrade to something better than the stock lens, this is a great buy. Its pricey, because it's a 2.8, and while not an "L" Series lens, it still offers superb image quality within the standard focal length. I use it for long trips and generally for everything else, especially in the winter months when the lighting gets less than ideal. The motor is fast for focusing, and it seldom has any focus errors (i.e. focusing on the wrong point). I do believe it works better with the T6i than the T5, but its so much more responsive, than the kit lens. And it's got the lower focal length that the 28-135 doesn't, so you don't have to back up when your in too close. Amazingly enough this one is nearly similar to the 16-35mm IS II. I've owned both, and I kept this one, as paying ...

  • Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM - An Excellent Lens

    I am now the third owner of my copy, and it doesn't seem to be any worse for wear for it. But then again most camera buffs take pretty good care of their equipment. My copy, perhaps just lucky me, also does not seem to exhibit the dreaded dust sucking problem that it has been reputed to have. I see no dust specks under the front element. I upgraded to this from the 17-85mm IS f4-5.6, which is a nice lens in its own right. I am glad I did for a number of reasons: - its constant f2.8 is great for low light and bokeh - my 40D body shifts its center cross-type autofocus point to a higher accuracy mode with f2.8 (or faster) lenses - it's sharp wide open, and is razor sharp at f4 - images taken with it have more "pop" (i.e. contrast and colour) compared to the 17-85mm, which is typical of L ...

  • Outstanding all around lens

    I started with a Sigma 17-70 F2.8-4 lens and thought it took good shots. However, after using on vacation for 10 days, I found that I had many shots that simply were not sharp, so when I returned home, the Sigma was also returned. However, I was sold on the utility of a walkaround lens in that range. After doing quite a bit of research, it became clear that the Canon 17-55 f/2.8 IS lens was loved by everyone that reviewed it and used it. After I read a review that showed it consistently delivers sharpness equal to or better than most primes, I made the leap. I have to tell you, this lens exceeded my expectations. The only reason I cannot get a sharp image is due to my own failing, not this lens. I can use it wide open and not have to worry about soft edges or other issues often noted ...

  • Simply The Best

    The 'L-class' APS-C Lens Feel confidence to know for sure that your pictures are the best The best wide zoom lens ever for APS-C. With a high price of course but there is a good reason. This is an L-class quality lens, it shares the L-series UD lens elements (L is for Luxury, Canon's top-of-the-line lenses). It’s not designated L because is not full-frame compatible. EF-S is designed only for ASP-C cameras. That said, the price is not so bad after all. There are other lenses from Canon that cover these focal lengths range but does not compare with this one. This lens has high build quality, superb image quality and great feature set with striking optical performance. You fall in love at first sight. The f2.8 aperture through the entire focal length range from 17mm to 55mm is fast enough ...

  • An "L" lens by any other name!

    This truly is a Canon "L" quality lens minus the packaging. The optical quality is certainly up to par with Canon's "L" lenses, but the case build and weatherproofing are not. That's not to say that there is anything wrong with the build, it's typical Canon, which is the highest quality. This lens is: 1) Quick: It focuses quickly and accurately in all types of lighting. 2) Sharp: From fully stopped to fully open. I've read some reports of it being slightly soft at the edges when fully opened, but have not seen it for myself. 3) Lovely Bokeh: Absolutely beautiful, soft bokeh. 4) Smooth: Focus ring and zoom both easy to reach and use and also very smooth. 5) Fast: F 2.8 throughout the entire range of zoom. 6) Spendy, but well worth the money. If you have a good dslr, do yourself a favor and ...
