I went to the camera store today he had a canon lens 17 to 55mm for 80 is that a good lens that I can use as a more of a wide angle lens for my car pictures

that had to be a mistake. the 17-55 is like $900+. If it is that cheap, it'll take 3!

He said it was from a canon kit and he took the camera and combined it with a better lens.

hmm, i don'tknow of the EF-S 17-55mm 2.8IS being part of a kit, as it will add about $800 or more onto the body. Was it the 17-85mm IS? that was part of a lens kit, and still was up until the 50D, i believe.

If it is the 17-85, i haven't had very good results with that lens. I have rented one several times, and it is soft over all. Ofcourse everyone has different experiences with lenses, but i would steer clear of this lens, especially if you pay retail for it. Id pay maybe $200 most for this lens My 28-105mm MKII MACRO was sharper than this lens.
