If you judge the EF-S 17-55mm lens today then you are doing it an injustice. At the time of its launch in 2006 it rivaled L lenses. It had fast AF and great IS along with very good IQ. I used the heck out of this lens for many years and it delivered very good photos for its time. I doubt Canon will ever make an RF-S lens like the 17-55mm or 15-85mm in the R system. Canon needs to give the RF-S mount a lens like the 24-240mm

To me, that's what I don't understand. How is a single quality APS-C zoom going to really kill off FF cameras/lenses?

The Sigma 17-50 2.8 was my only APS-C specific lens. The 70-200 2.8L and 50 1.8 I had were both full frame lenses. I do more landscape stuff now, so I'd be fine with a rebadge of the EF-M 11-22 as I'm shooting at F8 there anyways.
