Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM is definitely NOT a kit lens.

It is a "crop only" lens (EF-S). But in many ways.... and price... it's a significant upgrade over any of Canon's crop only kit lenses.

In fact, if you are looking for a lens to use on any of the Canon APS-C DSLRs, this is one of the best "walk around" zooms you can buy.

For example, it's superior to the EF 17-40mm f/4"L". In comparison, the EF-S 17-55mm is a stop faster, has more focal length range, has IS, and at comparable focal lengths and apertures is as sharp or sharper. than the L. The EF-S 17-55mm has never been offered "in kit" with any camera and sells for $879 new (plus $50 for the separately sold EW-83J Canon lens hood... or $17 for the Vello EW-83J third party hood). The 17-40mm sells for a little less ($799), has the coveted "L"-series designation and a red stripe, and as such it comes with the matched lens hood. Of course, if buying for a full frame Canon DSLR, then the 17-55mm is not an option... while the EF 17-40L is. But for anyone wanting a lens for use on an APS-C Canon DSLR, the extra money for the EF-S 17-55mm will be very well spent.

Back when Canon developed the EF-S 17-55mm they were defining "L Series" lenses as...
- Lenses with cutting edge design
- Lenses with exotic optical elements
- And lenses compatible with all EOS cameras.

The only reason the 17-55mm isn't an L is the last of those items: It's only compatible with the APS-C DSLRs. In the other respects it would qualify to be designated an L-series (same with a few other EF-S lenses, including the EF-S 10-22mm, EF-S 15-85mm and EF-S 60mm Macro.

Canon has since dropped that last criteria. They now make L-series RF lenses that are only compatible with EOS R-series cameras.

You really, really, really need to learn how to use the “Quote Reply” option so people will know which post you’re responding to. Click the “Quote Reply” option and type your response after the requester’s text.
Would also have been good to list these on your first page as text instead of the PDF so you can edit them as you sold them.
Your first post should be editable. It’s not too late to change it.

Has the 7D you have listed on the PDF sold?
What kind of shape is it in?
(A photo would help)
Thanks
