As you may be aware,I'm a fairly new owner of my 550D which came with an 18-55 EFS.Apart from macro work,I'm just not using the 18-55 at all.
The 17-85 seems to cover pretty much everything I need,except for the real distance work when wildllife photgraphing.
It works well in low light(I avoid using flash if I can,especially on portraits)and I am really pleased with the quality in jpeg.My next challenge is try using raw and see how the lens performs(and my knowledge of the software)when producing A4 prints.
Not a cheap lens,but so forgiving for a new user who keeps forgetting to take a mon pod or tripod with him.Simple to use and not too heavy to carry round your neck for a few hours.
