Summary: I use the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS on my Canon 30D most of the time, and love this lens. It has L class optics, with addition of IS and a wide aperture f/2.8. It works great in low light. It sometimes even beat my EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS. But one disappointing feature is the lack of weather seal and I can see dust inside the lens. The dust did not affect the image quality, but it is not something I like to see after spending $1000.

Summary: Got the lens 6 weeks ago. Noting works for me (Blurry photos and IS does not work when wide open - f2.8). Send to Canon for repair two weeks ago and not sure when can get it back and what outcome will be.
Description:To meet user demands for a fast EF-S zoom lens, Canon has specially designed a new lens with a large aperture of f/2.8 for select Canon Digital SLR cameras. The large circular aperture produces a shallow depth-of-field, creating background blur that draws attention to the photographic subject. The lens construction includes UD and aspherical elements, which deliver impressive image quality throughout the entire zoom range. Image Stabilizer lens groups shift to compensate for camera movement so that the image appears steady on the image plane, ensuring clear, crisp images, even in dim light. With a Ring-type USM, inner focusing and new AF algorithms, this lens achieves autofocus quickly and quietly, and with full-time mechanical manual focusing, manually adjusting the focus is possible even in AF mode.
