I am pondering keeping an eye out for a deal on the 17-55 2.8 for use in indoor situations. (Christenings, church events, family stuff). Does anyone have experience with this lens on the r10 (or r7)? I know it is getting pretty old now, but I wonder how it performs. Alternative options also greatly appreciated.

Tried a copy on the M6II - was not impressed and sent it back.

Could be a not so great copy - it was fine at f/4 but not brilliant at f/2.8.  Also big and front heavy - would handle a bit better on a R10.

The Sigma 18-35 might just be better - based on Christopher Frost's review - and if you only used the wide end more interesting - but I know that tele end is nice for people.

Not many great options in fast zooms though for Canon APSC    Full frame, the 24-105's EF or RF rock comparatively and with equiv. depth of field too.
