For me, it's the Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD IF

Cheap n good

For me is the EF-S 15-85mm IS, (eq. 24-136mm) covering wide 24mm to 136mm.
Why 17-55mm?
Sometimes when u need to use build-in-flash. 17-55mm will have "dark shades at the bottom of image due to the large 77mm lens diameter.
Not every time it's neccessary to be f2.8, la.
Look at Full frame sensor lens - 1D series got 24-70mm. 5D series got 24-105mm. APS-C got 24-136mm (with 15-85mm)

I think he is not looking to buy just want gather some forum users feedback. Also this is under canon? So naturally no nikon lenses included in poll. Unless this get shifted to general discussion section.

Well said

im using a vintage 28-105 F3.5-4.5 USM. Very reliable very quiet, front element don't rotate.

 

[Noisky]

Canon 17-55 IS 2.8 USM ... reason why i still keep my 40D. Nothing comes near IMHAO.

 

[Clicke]

15-85 for me ... for the extra focal length... But definitely need to pair with a speedlite...

17-55 f2.8....

 

[Kenneth67C]

Anyone considered the new 40mm STM f2.8?

Becoz of this bad-ass 17-55, i cant find a reason to upgrade to full frame with an inequivalent lens with IS. 24-105 is not 2.8. 24-70 has no IS. my hands tremble and IS let me shoot at 1/4s at 17mm without tripod.

Yes the 17-55 f/2.8 is one fine lens... great colour, superb sharpness and forgiving IS.

If i am not wrong, 17-55 "f2.8" is only like a 27.2-88mm f4.5 on FF.

If only you are concerned with DOF play. The EF-S 17-55 is still a f/2.8 lens in terms of widest aperture, and it still allows 2x more light than the 24-105L. In terms of stopping action, the f/2.8 is still very valuable.

I've read a few articles station that crop factor does not affect f-stop, it just affects focal length

Only wish build quality is like L.........
