The long awaited EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 USM lens

[dragos]

only EFS I am interested is those macro lens...

 

[djork]

i don't really need the 2.8, but the IS will surely be good to have..

 

[medallion]

Put price lehz...very interesting lens...

 

[vinlee]

For that price, I rather save for other items. I can choose cheaper Sigma 17-55 f2.8.

To be specific exactly which Canon EOS bodies supports EF-S lenses:
- EOS 300D
- EOS 350D
- EOS 20D
- EOS 30D

The 10D, D30, D60 although 1.6x crop factor sensor, DO NOT SUPPORT EF-S lenses.

i just saw someone who had a D60, filled off the extra EF-S notches on the lens to fit on his EF mount. (that lens that got the dremel happens to be a cheap EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6..)

and it works!

(of course, not asking you to do that on this $2000 lens. haa )

lens exterior look solid :thumbsup: almost like " L "

errr... looks plastic to me.. exterior not much differ frm 17-85..

Many people here talk about moving to full frame. Does that mean you guys don't care for wild life and macro photography? Hmmm...

So far, the only thing that holds me back is the poor AF sensor Canon puts in their APSC cameras (350D/300D/30D/20D/10D).

 

[rainman]

How much ah?
Less than 1k I can consider

 

[Ah Pao]

Alamak...so ex...wait for the Tamron version or get the Sigma version liao...looking for a f/2.8 lens of that range to replace my kit lens...

 

[yukazunori]

errr... looks plastic to me.. exterior not much differ frm 17-85..

plastic? i think the texture actually looks like much better than the other cheaper lenses.. the texture i believe same as EF 70-300 f4-5.6 IS USM...

Its not really that poor an AF sensor if you compare to the "n" 70, 100 and 50;p

i owned it's 'look alike' cousin, the 17-85.. and it's plastic, the only thing is the coating that seem solid.. everything else is plastic..

 

[redstorm]

To me, for the price, it's not worth paying for the lens with IS, which to me is good to have but not must have. At that kinda price, the Sigma and probably the Tamron and Tokina f2.8, I guess, will cost about half the price albeit without the IS. I can live without the IS.

lol... ok icic haha then i hoping for miracle.. pray that paying the 2k plus it'll at least have a much higher quality build... lol if any miracle is still possible... hahahahaha

just curious about what you said above. how does moving to full frame relate to wildlife and macro photography?
