I have used the lens quite a bit - mine was razor sharp at all focal lengths at f/2.8. I've used a lot of L lenses and the 17-55 can stand with them sharpness wise. Vignetting and distortion are fixed with a click each in Lightroom.

Agree with below-average build quality: zoom creep, jerky zooming action, but disagree on calling the optical quality "mediocre."

I had one a while back on my 80D and would agree with 'mediocre'
