Combining the flexibility of a standard kit lens with premium build quality and performance, the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 is an ideal fit for any Canon EOS crop sensor kit. Robustly constructed for everyday use, this versatile zoom is the kind of lens you can rely on when you only want to carry one.

Its standout feature is the fast, constant f2.8 maximum aperture. Available across the full zoom range, it lets you shoot wide open for excellent handheld performance in a wide variety of conditions.

Whether you are heading out for dinner or taking a walk back to the car, this lens is capable of delivering sharp, blur-free results. The wide aperture also makes it easy to achieve shallow depth of field with beautifully blurred backgrounds, helped by the circular aperture design.

To further enhance handheld shooting, the 17-55mm includes a built-in Image Stabiliser. This helps reduce camera shake, making it easier to leave the tripod behind when you are out hiking or shooting on the move.

As a versatile everyday standard zoom, the Canon 17-55mm f2.8 is designed to handle a wide range of subjects and shooting situations. Its excellent Ultrasonic motor provides autofocus that is both fast and quiet, making it well suited to moving subjects and ideal for use with the video mode on your EOS DSLR.
