Although my main camera is a 5D4 i use my 80D quite a lot. I would love a lens like the 17-55 f/2.8 IS, but after having 3 poor copies of this lens i would avoid it until its updated.I had a lovely copy when it first came out, so i can appreciate what a good lens it can be, but have failed to replace it with another good copy.

My Copy if.the 17-55 was poor also, soft wide open an iq was no better than my 18-135 stm. I money and IQ ahead with a few cheap primes.
