Re: Should I get the 17-55mm IS USM lens?

Wow, I didn't expect so much feedback!

Thanks for all of the suggestions, however most of them are too expensive for my student budget.

I have decided to get the lens and will go and pick it up tomorrow.

I am in Switzerland which is maybe why it is so cheap compared to other countries. It also has a cash back offer for 70 Swiss franks. The place I will buy it from is a very well known retailer in Switzerland and is where I got my 70-200mm lens from, here is the website for any one interested.

Thanks again, I'm sure this lens will serve me well for the next few years.
