Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM

I got it used for 450$. I'd never spend 1000$ for that lens.

... we can instantly agree on that ... and for 450$, I'd probably get it myself.

f/8, 1/200, ISO 100, 28mm

I love getting everything in the shot without having to run back 50 meters.

I had this lens on my 40D, 60D, and 7D most of time. And now with 5D III, 24-70 f2.8 II + 70-200 f2.8 IS II, NEVER look back

Anyone else found that F2.8 pictures are way too soft almost unusable, pump it up to 3.2 and this is BEAST with it so sharp.. and then from 3.5 to 7.1 a bit jumping up and down and then again at F8 it amazingly sharp.

Anyone noticed this, or is it just for me?

That's very odd in your case, how can stopping down 1/3 stop take it from super soft to razor sharp? It usually takes 1-2 stops to improve lens IQ.
