What's great about it: Fast, sharp, sturdy construction and easy to use.
What's not so great: Could be better sealed against weather.
With the fast aperture and popular focal range, it is a great buy. Few f/2.8 give as many features for the money.
It is not only a good buy, but produces sharp images. I love its low light ability. The Optical Stabilizer (OS) works very well. Up to 4 stops of extra handhold ability.
The autofocus is lightning fast and silent with the Hypersonic Motor (HSM).
Overall this is a fabulous buy for the money.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Super fast lens at mutliple ranges; great bokeh
What's not so great: Lens hood (petal style) can cast shadows on your subject.
Awesome, solid lens used to replace Canon T2i kit lens. Really like the image quality and large aperture (excellent bokeh)
Focus is nice and smooth. Auto/Manual switch very easy to change compared to kit lens.
Walmart onlline had it for $20 cheaper, but since I had several giftcards, Best Buy was the way to go. Two weeks later, Best Buy had it on sale, called and got a $20 credit :)

What's great about it: f/2.8 - f/4 with OS (Optical Stabilization)
A great walk-around lens, OS works very well on it. The long end is f/4 (f/2.8-f/4).
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Sharpness wide aperture
What's not so great: lens creep
This is an excellent 'every day' lens. With a range from 17-70mm it will cover 75% of the pictures you will take. With an f/2.8-4.5 it creates a wonderful bokeh when desired. When stepped down to 5.6 or more this lens is incredibly sharp. The zoom lock is good for stopping lens creep but can be a slight pain. It is also not the lightest lens but it's actually a good thing as far as holding things steady. The OS is very effective and although I haven't done many tests it seems to provide an extra 3 stops (possibly 4) of correction. Very fast focus across all af points and wonderful color reproduction. This lens is a Big step up from a kit lens!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: 17-70mm range, OS, 2.8, good in low light, macro
Really like the focal range of this 17-70mm. You and get some nice wide shots yet zoom in when you need. The addition of "OS" optical stabilization can really help in the low light moments. The image quality is good offering good color reproduction, no real visible chromatic aberration. Macro is a nice edition as well. I was able to shoot a very nice shot inside a tulip this spring. Build quality feels good, its a solid plastic. Overall very functional and easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!
