The Canon 24-105L ii (also standard retail price) is about $400 (Australian) more than 17-55.

To me, this is indicative of just how over-priced the 17-55mm is.

It is a very good indication what bargain it is.

An even better bargain at $549.

Yep.  It now has an irresistible price.  Now has that price just when I no longer have a camera that it can mount it.  It is a great lens but it is not for everyone.

I even studied how to remove and clean behind the front element if dust built up too much.  It looked like an interesting/fun project.
