Well, I bought it off some dude who said it had been calibrated recently, so hopefully it works out well. It's weird though, brand new it's $1540 here but the 17-55 is $1200 (the kit lens it's replacing is roughly $190).

Mind you, I have read the odd article saying it comes across as being soft in some areas so I'll have to wait til it gets here and try it out. If not, I'll meet you at the bar and we can drink our sorrows away
