A good product, more pros than cons.

I think many, when they took their first DSLRs and took their first pictures, thought in bewilderment: "It seems to be better than on a soap dish, but such beauty as in magazines is not even close." 17-55 is my first lens with which such beauty IS. I have almost forgotten what technical post-processing is, and I use Photoshop more and more for artistic purposes.
But this is about the quality of shooting. If you calm down, unscrew it from the mount and look not THROUGH it, but AT it, it becomes clear that it is far from perfect.
In general, I, yesterday's newcomer, am still delighted, but elite gentlemen will find something to complain about, oh, how they will find it.

Pros

* In terms of sharpness, I can compare it with fifty dollars (at least 1.8, I didn’t use cooler ones), but at the same time a universal zoom. This is the most important virtue; * Distortion, aberrations and other vignetting are almost zero; * Unlike the 17-85 I used before, the ultrasonic motor doesn't beep like a crazy mouse; * Aperture + stabilizer.

Cons

* If focusing on a point is set, and this point is not particularly lit, autofocus is useless; * Vacuums, the trunk falls out by itself (I took it from my hands along with the check, judging by it, it was used for a little more than six months); * The long end is not so long. If you take in a set with 70-200, 15 mm (oral count with a smile) will be lost; * 77mm - it is expensive for someone to buy filters; * No lens hood included - for someone who bought a lens for thirty, it's a pity 500 on top; *EF-S only - someone thinks they're cool enough to buy a full frame.
