I have one, but not really on an SL1. Mine is usually on my T3i. Mine is the C version and I've had it for about a year, with no complaints. I had a local camera shop trying to sell me a 17-70 non-C version (which I think may be non-stabilized also). The C version is capable of being micro focus adjusted via a extra USB dock.

Yes, the C version is what I have been looking at, it is smaller and lighter than the previous version and the docking capability is important considering the lack of MFA on the SL1.

It is on sale at B&H for $400 plus 4% rewards or I could get a used one from Japan for about $320.
