Heavier than the kit lens but the 17-55mm f/2.8, is one of the best (if not the best) low-light walk-around lenses you can buy. Its 17-55mm focal length range makes it versatile for use in either landscape or portrait photography. It may be pricey, but it's worth every last paise you pay for it.

This review is mainly to highlight how quickly flipkart delivered the lens. After I ordered online, it was delivered home in 24 hrs flat. Very impressive!

As I got this lens only a couple of days ago, I haven't had much of a chance to test it out yet. But the brief time I've spent with it suggests it'll be very good. Here's what I have so far:

Pros: quiet focusing, great image quality
Cons: Pricey, on the heavy side, build quality could be better

Better zoom lens for APS-C camera

Not fitting for canon eos 5d mark iii
