Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS

Available Today

182516732934

This lens provides a very wide f/2.8 aperture, three-stop third-generation image stabilizer, and a zoom range that makes it an ideal walkaround or everyday lens. It’s received universally excellent reviews for sharpness and usability; it is an L-quality lens, both in build and sharpness.

We continue to add copies as the demand seems to be growing almost weekly. Several people have rented it for a second time now, so obviously they like it.

Only Works With: Crop sensor cameras (T3i, 7D, etc…)

A remarkable lens. It’s very sharp. The combination wide aperture and Image Stabilization let you shoot nearly in the dark: if the camera can focus on it, you can probably shoot it handheld. For those shooting with a crop camera this is the ultimate ‘wedding zoom’ and one of the few zoom lenses that can be shot indoors in ambient light.
