The large circular aperture of this standard zoom lens produces a shallow depth of field, creating background blur that draws attention to the photographic subject. Image-stabilizer lens groups shift to compensate for camera movement so the image appears steady on the image plane, ensuring clear, crisp images even in dim light.

Posted by: from Fort Wayne on 04/28/2013If you are looking to get this lens you already know about the major review sites and have already read all about them. The only negative thing I have found about this lens is the size and weight. It is larger and heavier than the kit lens. If you don't mind that go for it.

17-55mm canon lens

Posted by: vcandrew from Lumberton NC on 01/27/2013Amazing lens lots of lights coming in, even in f/9 indoor in Av is still bright picture perfect to my canon body, 77mm filter big difference in my kit lens. Build quality of the 17-55. The lens has a good solid feel.
Nice bokeh at maximum aperture f/2.8. I wanted the Ultrasonic Motor (USM) feature, since this is known to be the fastest and quietest autofocus technology.
The image stabilizer-this feature is definitely worth it. It makes taking sharp pictures in every shot. I would recommend this lens..

Posted by: Awilli from south jersey on 01/13/2013This lens while being a bit expensive is worth every penny. While being extremely sharp and a constant 2.8 this lens is above any 17-50 lens out there in its class..I highly recommend this lens if ur looking for the best non L lens canon has to offer
