There are a lot of 18-55 lenses, you need to state which generation it is. Even its year would help.

That would have been the 18-55 that came with the 550D, from 2010 I think - I don't remember more details than that

And the point was not to say that the 17-55 has bad mage quality per see, although it did not entirely live up to my (very high) standards. The point is more that for the extra money over the 18-55 kit lens, you get very little in return. Most people will be far better off with the 18-55.
