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

With this lens attached, the Canon 60D weighs a little bit more than what I would consider to be an appropriate weight for carrying while traveling. This is just my opinion. Because the answer to this question depends on the person asking it, it is prudent to weigh the equipment before making a purchase so that one can get a sense of how comfortable it will be to wear (on the neck or in a backpack). I was able to sell a camera package that included a lens and a flash. These are some advantages: 1) The photographs taken with a focal length ranging from 24 to 55 millimeters have an excellent level of both clarity and realism. 2) Because of the stabilizer, I was able to shoot shots with my Canon 60D using lighting lamps at aperture 2.8 without using a flash, and not only did I enjoy the picture, but I was able to snap it! 3) Instant autofocus 4) A focus motor and stabilizer that are virtually silent. Some cons: 1) Distortion becomes obvious between the focal lengths of 17 and 20, particularly if the subject of the photograph is a group of individuals (the faces are "stretched"). This range is probably only appropriate for landscapes, and even then, only if the criteria are not particularly stringent. 2) Throughout the first month of use, an electrical connector contact fault started to appear on the camera's display. In addition, the problem only occurred when an external flash was being utilized in the process. Because of this issue, the service department decided to replace the diaphragm. It's true that at first they blamed it on the lens, but I was able to convince them to check the camera, flash, and lens all at the same time, which is when they finally admitted that the camera was not to blame. When you are ready to make a purchase in the future, make sure that you test the functionality of the lens using an external flash and that you shoot at least a dozen photographs in rapid succession to warm up the contacts. 3) While I was away on vacation during the summer, it stopped directing me altogether. When they got back to Hong Kong, they changed the diaphragm that was being used in the service (again!). 4) The edge of the lens has a rubber gasket that seals it. She managed to lean back, and I was able to see that underneath it there was not even a plastic case, but rather immediate access to the electrical and mechanical "insides." There is a high probability that a discernible difference between the operational conditions and the room conditions will cause the issue of reliability to resemble a game of roulette. Moisture, dust, etc. can readily get inside. It is quite difficult to recommend the lens for purchase if it is intended to be used in environments other than indoors and there is no need to always wear a replacement for it. After some time, I decided to update the review because of the unreliability, and I subsequently dropped the rating from four stars to three stars.
