Review on Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens - Compatible with Canon DSLR Cameras (Lens Only) by Jongkol Amphaiphit ᠌

This lens produces a really excellent picture, comparable in quality to similar professional lenses. But, unreliable, plastic case spoils everything. After some time of active use, the trunk loosens and leaves. As a result, the accuracy of autofocus starts to walk, misses happen. Sucks up dust. Several times I disassembled it myself, tightened the screws, cleaned it from dust. The greedy firm Canon is hesitant to put a lens hood in the kit, despite its high price. I had to buy separately. In general, despite the shortcomings described, it is a very good lens. In practice, for cropped DSLRs, he has no alternative. I can recommend it if the price suits you and if you are not going to use it too much.
