Largely a waste of money

Re: Largely a waste of money

A nicely performing lens that I used to take many 10s of thousands club photos.  Lens survived this photographers night time head over heels collision with hay bales and being dropped onto concrete.  Did wish for a 16-70+ range after awhile.  Arthritis and a thief's visit pushed me to mirrorless.  Miss a fast focus zoom under low light so badly that I added a 80D and a few lighter weight lens usable for about an hour at a time but 17-55 weighs to much and cost too much for limited use.  It's unpleasant when weight becomes a major selectiondriver.
