Canon - EF-S 17-55/2.8 Lens

I recently purchased a new lens for my camera, and love it!

SPECS

• Image stabilization (for shaky hands like mine)
• USM Wide-Angle Telephoto Digital Zoom (a good "every occasion/stay on the camera" lens)
• For APS-C Sized Digital SLR Cameras (mine is a Rebel XTi)
• 2.8 Aperture (allows for incredible background blur)
• Upgraded Automatic focus (super fast...no more waiting to focus!)
• Sells new for around $1000  (I got one refurbished, cheaper)

What I love about this lens is that it takes great portraits (which I'm doing all the time with my kids), but it's also good for everything, so I don't have to change lenses ever!  If you're willing to carry a little more weight, it's the best bang for the buck.
