Heralded by many as the finest standard zoom lens for cropped sensor Canon digital SLRs, the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS puts L-like image quality into a lens offering a focal length range ideal for a wide variety of photography genres.

With an effective focal length range of approximately 27-88mm (35 mm equivalent), the lens is wide enough to capture landscape vistas, with an aperture fast enough for low-light situations especially when combined with the 3-stop IS, and a telephoto suitable for portraiture.
