Re: Known issues with 17-55/2.8?

If you are willing to spend much more, get 17-55/2.8 IS but on my opinion it's very overpriced (a relative old lens) as third party Sigma 17-50/2.8 OS and Tamron 17-50/2.8 VC are pretty as good as but much cheaper.  I personally picked up Sigma 17-50/2.8 OS for 60D and pretty happy on the combo (sold now).  But if money is not an issue, Canon is overall a slight better copy - 5mm longer, full-time manual focus ring, Canon brand and slight sharper edges/corners.
