Cons: only serves to cameras with aps-c sensor, could be firmer in the front segment (fluctuates a bit when in 55mm)
Opinion: this is my lens of choice for travel photos, portraits, nocturnal, architecture, for any service. Mounted on my Canon EOS 50D produces a set of very high quality and performance. The only thing it lacks to be an L series lens is the red stripe, but also did not make sense to Canon to produce an EF-s series lens as a L series. In all the features it provides the lens-end to users of sensor APS-C.

Cons:Lack of standard lens hood, build quality not responsive to price.
Opinion:Little to say.... Optics simply exceptional. The mountains and you no longer detach it from the camera body. Sharp images, "crisp", never disappoint, if not for recurring flare phenomena, but which do not lower the evaluative average of an excellent optics, which also presents a blurry great to be a zoom. Basically to consider a pro for APS-C. The only sore notes are the absence of the lens hood (costs €40 apart) and materials that, however good, do not seem excellent, in relation to the price, which in any case is fully justified and does not regret the purchase. It is a perspective that I will always miss very much in the transition to FF.
Opinion:The usual premise that I would like to do is that I am not sufficiently experienced to make judgments but I feel I am exposing my impressions. I have owned for several months the 17-70 Sigma Contemporary but did not fully satisfy my needs of photography in rooms with little light and the MAF (like any Sigma that respects alas) sometimes did a little ' the cabbage that seemed to him. So, again, thanks to this mythical site (you would love Juza:D) I am documented on similar alternatives and I found this 17-55 Canon tempting. I trusted in the purchase of a used specimen Trovatao to Rce of Padua, which for now, after several shots, is giving me satisfaction! The only flaw of mine is that I find it "soft" in the sense that the zoom drops even with the force of gravity but otherwise I feel strongly to recommend it for those looking for something in the house Canon of this genre!
Opinion:The diameter of the front lens from 77 mm brings more light from the lenses from 67 or 52, thus allowing the same diaphragm to gain 2/3 stop gains in low light conditions. Opening 2.8 for excellent portraits with nice bokeh. The Stabilizer helps a lot in the indoors and outdoors in low light conditions allowing good results when you are without tripod and flash. The Perfect zoom for travel and street photo. It is the best lens built by Canon for APS-C like sharpness and autofocus speed. Loses compared to the competition only on the price but the surrender you pay. Slight Distortion at 17 Ma for the focal one better than the 10-22. From the best between 35 and 50 mm. To avoid the dust just put a good UV filter Hoya, recommended extremely to protect the front lens.
Pros:AF USM, constant brightness, professional appearance:)
Cons:I would say the weight (but x a similar optics there), and the price (if taken used in excellent condition you save a 30-40%)
Opinion:After a thousand ideas and tests (Sigma 17-50 F/2.8, Canon 15-85 (really sharp), 18-135 STM, USM etc.), here I am finally reviewing the lens that I will keep to 99% on my EOS M50 with EF adapter (except the sea that I will use the 15-45, you never know:)) Well what about I finally found the lens that is for me, it will be cumbersome for a body of the M50, but I find it very well, indeed much better as a grip than with the 15-45 EF-M. Well now everyone knows this goal, has a constant brightness and sharpness from 20mm to 55mm decidedly good even at f/2.8 and more stabilized, as soon as you close a hair is really very sharp. I open a small parenthesis, I also had the Sigma 17-50 F/2.8 And there is no comparison logically with the canon, the canon also costs 3 times as much:(, the autofocus noise is disturbing and unusable x video (and do not want to make video with a constant f/2.8???), and less sharp de The canon both at the edges and at the center, I would say at least one stop. I thought I had found the perfect all do x me in 15-85, which I think is really good and sharp, has nothing to do with the 18-135 (as sharpness is like seeing with and without glasses), but then as soon as I arrived and tried the 17-55 I gave up having that length I n more than focal, but it was love at first sight. This lens is clear that you can not call it handyman vista its short excursion, but paired with a fixed luminous and a tele and you are in place x always!
