Some really great pictues here guys and gals. I have decided to make the investment and get this lens with my new 40D. The f/2.8, IS and crop factor are all winning points for me.

I upgraded from that lens and it was well worth it. Sharper, faster and IS. The sharpest Canon lens out there.

Very often.

It's on all the time, so it's hard to specify a % of my shots that really needed IS, but with this lens the keeper rate is very high.

Well my 70-200 is sharper, but the 17-55 is pretty good. I've started to shoot mainly RAW now and the 17-55 really seems to benefit from some smart sharpening - seems to bring back lots of detail.

I just sold my Tamron 17-50 and bought this lens. The only problem is waiting. ;)
