One of the most admired features of the Canon EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM is its speed. Packed with a fixed fast f/2.8 aperture, the user is not required to adjust or worry about exposure settings while zooming in on a subject. While this may not seem like an incredible hassle, this is an example of how easy Canon has produced the EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM to work for the photographer. It also contributes to its speed, which is impressive enough to freeze indoor action with extreme clearness.
Another feature of the Canon EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM is its ability to produce a nicely blurred background, something that establishes focus on the photographs subject instead of minor details. Canon has employed a circular seven-blade aperture barrel, which establishes a wonderful background blur that establishes the photo's subject with relative ease.
The Canon EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM is also excellent in controlling color and contrast, providing a high quality image that does not need to compromise its color value. While the EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM is somewhat prone to flare, there is no question its ability to control color does a great job of masking its flare shortcomings.
