Excellent option for touring and taking in the sights. Another one of his hobbies is shooting from a tripod in low light or indoors. It is recommended that you use filters with a narrow or wide-angle focal point. using the typical filters when shooting at wide-angle vignettes. Only applicable when using full frame. I strongly suggest that those who use cropped-sensor cameras give some consideration to the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens. Pros: Price. Lightweight and condensed in size (very convenient when traveling). Wonderful colors (a plus for landscapes). Almost no distortion (no distortion, like a fish eye). A focussing that is both quick and precise. A large lens hood is included in the package (however, the lens does not catch hares without it, so its main purpose is "to make it look cooler") The red stripe is sure to make a lot of people happy:) Having certain negative aspects Flash and high ISO settings are this glass's closest friends while shooting in low light or inside. When viewed from a wide angle, there are chromaticity issues (we cover the aperture and the problem is solved) There is no pointiness at either the short end or at the margins of the object (it is solved similarly)
