Re: Not my experience ...

I have used the 17-55 quite a bit, first a borrowed copy on my 7D for a African safari and then purchased my own copy when there was a good sale at the local camera shop and I was able to get it for less than $500.  I do a lot of sports shooting and the f2.8 is invaluable for the indoor stuff.  I also don't use flash for indoor family and friends photos, so the f2.8 comes in handy there as well.  I can't speak to the L lenses in this focal range as I don't have any but I have been well satisfied with the 17-55
