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.Product Identifiers

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 1300 for the same focal length with just a slightly faster focusing, doesn't really make a whole lot of sense, as their both 2.8's. Your really not going to be disappointed with this lens, over the 16-35mm costing 2.5x times as much.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Happy client
Delivery if the lens had me on tenter hooks, but eventually the parcel made it's way to my door. Luckily it was tracked; otherwise I'd have given up a month ago. Enough about logistics. It is a great lens. I've played around with it a bit and saw it is sharp enough to catch decent sharp images of my 3 year old playing with the camera. The only point worth noting; at wide openings the camera's in-built flash (77D) throws shadows on the photo due to the large lens diameter. An external flash solved this at wide angles. At longer focus lengths the in-built flash gave no shadows.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Versatile and Sharp
The Canon EF-S 17-55mm lens is a very nice fast lens. I've shot a lot of candid performance still images and video and a wedding reception/dance in difficult and varying lighting and this lens has performed remarkably well. With a Canon 7D Mii in servo focus mode it works very well.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fantastic!
Great lens, super sharp with great contrast all the way down to f/2.8. This lens is as close to an 'L' series lens as you can get. Only things I don't like is that the autofocus is too loud for video and the lens gets dust behind the front element but I can manually focus the video and the dust is not noticeable in photos.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Sweet piece of kit on the cheap
I use this lense on a C100 MkII. My primary use is for Club soccer matches. The auto focus and crisp clear image is exactly what I was looking for. I normally use it in the 28-40mm focal range. KevinVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great upgrade from the Canon Rebel kit lens
Super sharp images compared to the kit lens the Canon Rebel series cameras come with. The AF is fast, accurate and very quiet (not silent however). The manual focus ring is well placed, and wide enough to get a hold of easily. I like the fact that when you zoom and focus, the lens barrel doesn't rotate so my polarizer, or graduated filters don't need to be readjusted - and the f2.8 aperture is super helpful in low light situations. Also being a fixed aperture lens, you don't need to change your exposure settings when you zoom in and out with it like all my other zoom lenses. All this goodness comes at a cost - its bigger and heavier than the standard kit lens, but it's worth the trade-off in my opinion.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Responses to the questions...
1).Is is durable? I realize it is an older lens. Just moving the camera when walking moves the lens from 17mm position loosely to another position. It doesn’t seem to hold its axis stable. 2).Is the image sharp? So far in just a short few pictures I’ve taken outside, they seem to be ok. I guess I was expecting a bit more than what I have headed from the reviews. 3). Is it a good value? Canon lenses (even older ones) tend to be pricy. Do value is subjective. However, it is in the average price range as to expect others selling/buying. The noises of the lens (sounds like internal noise, mild grinding noise of the IS and/or AF...(which I have heard from other owners of these issues). The shipping was in great packing and well protected. Delivery Time was on time. Overall at the moment a ‘4’ star. Weak axis knocks down the star. I may learn to love it after more time to shoot.
