EF-S 17-55mm F/2.8 IS USM Wide Angle Zoom Lens CANON AUTHORIZED USA DEALER
(CN1755IS)
Pros: Fast / accurate auto-focus, Consistent Output
Cons:
Other Comments: I've been using a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 lens for a number of years but really wanted a lens that focused faster and more accurately, especially in low light. I've considered the Canon 17-55 f/2.8 for a long time but the higher price was holding me back. I finally decided to make the move and I am really happy with this lens. I shoot dance performances and the low light and fast movement is a real challenge. I used the 17-55 for three performances and was amazed at its ability to focus quickly and in low light. It outperformed my 85 f/1.8 on focus accuracy and I wasn't expecting that! It's a great lens and I am looking forward to using it a lot.
Yes, I recommend this product

EF-S 17-55mm F/2.8 IS USM Wide Angle Zoom Lens CANON AUTHORIZED USA DEALER
(CN1755IS)
Pros: Consistent Output, Fast / accurate auto-focus, Strong Construction, Easily Interchangeable, Durable
Cons:
Other Comments: I bought the lens to capture the inspirational sights of the Grand Canyon, Bryce, and Zion. It did what I wanted. The only thing I might change - I probably should have gone to a lens that had a greater zoom, since it was not able to get close to wildlife. Still, the photos I got using this lens were beautiful.
