    I was just looking at one of these on Ebay. I like this price a lot better over its Nikon counterpart.

    thecoolcutter: Tamron makes cheaper versions of that lens.
    The Canon 17-55 f/2.8 and 24-70 f/2.8 are both 'L' lenses, so you'll spend close to $1000 each if you get the Canon brands.

    The Tamron versions are both ~half that price. I have the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 and will vouch for its quality. It does sometimes hunt a bit in very low light... but that is partly because I am using a Rebel

    it has a plastic back and service sucks... if the lens has a problem you will have to swallow it up and buy another one because sending it back it barely an option... but if you get a good one and keep it well, it does have good optics.
