Versatile APS-C Standard Zoom
This Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens covers a 27.2-88mm equivalent range with a constant f/2.8 aperture. It suits APS-C DSLR owners who want a single bright zoom for wide-angle to portrait work. The bundle adds a 77mm filter kit, cap keeper and cleaning supplies.
Upgrade from Variable Aperture Zooms
The constant f/2.8 aperture replaces slower kit zooms that dim at longer focal lengths. The three-stop Image Stabilizer helps when shutter speeds drop in low light. The jump is worth it for photographers who need consistent exposure and shallow depth of field across the zoom range.
Build-Ready Bundle for APS-C DSLRs
The lens mounts directly on Canon APS-C DSLR bodies and accepts 77mm filters. The included filter kit protects the front element and manages reflections. The cap keeper prevents lost caps during quick changes. The cleaning kit maintains optical clarity without extra purchases.

Questions about this item
What filter thread size does the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens need for the included 77mm filter kit?
The lens has a 77mm filter thread, so the bundled 77mm three-piece filter kit screws on directly without an adapter.
How do you mount the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM on an APS-C DSLR, and what step is often missed?
Align the red EF-S mount index on the lens barrel with the red dot on the camera mount, twist clockwise until it clicks, then set the focus-mode switch to AF; forgetting to flip the switch leaves the lens in manual focus.
When will the Image Stabilizer unit in this 17-55mm f/2.8 lens typically need service?
The IS mechanism is sealed inside the barrel and has no user-serviceable parts; if stabilisation becomes noisy or ineffective after years of use, send the lens to an authorised Canon service centre for internal overhaul.
