I had originally stated (at my site) that it would be done by Sunday, but I was able to actually complete it this morning.

Feel free to leave comments there on any specific page.

Great review. I vacillated so long between the 24-105 and 17-55 finally settling on the latter. I am really happy with the lens and your test shots pretty much confirm what my experience has been. The 17-55 is one sharp zoom.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Very nice test. I still love my 24-105 for the range it gives me though :p

I am amazed how well the 18-200 did...people should not give it such a hard time cause it really does quite a good job.

Now that is another great test of some lenses that people think about a lot. The 17-55 is one stellar performer, that's for sure.
Thanks for doing these.

Thanks a ton for the review. I really appreciate it when people take the time to do this. Seems to be very thorough and I like the evidence being ACTUAL pictures and not charts and stuff -.-

Thanks for the review. I have had the 18-200 for about a month now and took about 1,000 shots with it while on vacation.

I found that it took some very clear shots at a variety of distances. Granted, I'm not a pro, but I was happy with the results. Most of the sub-par pictures were more due to user error than the fault of the lens.
