This lens has pretty much been my workhorse lens when using my D300. I have since moved to a D800 and 24-70, but still have the D300 and 17-55 combo in the bag.

I would say over half the shots here are taken with the 17-55 www.flickr.com/photos/myweh3

Here are a couple samples

Enjoy the lens.

Some stellar images, Billy. And yet, some folks say the 17-55 won't do landscapes...

Actually, biggbird, I really like your shots as well... The people/party and band shot work well, and I like your gritty urban landscapes, some very nice compositions there. I think some of them, the high contrast ones, for example, might work better in b/w. I really do like the control buttons shot, it would make a cool print.

Thanks for kind words. By no means should you feel the need to delete your images. We all shoot different subjects, see things differently, and ultimately process differently.

Not sure why people would think the 17-55 can't do landscapes. Anyway, it has served me well. On a 1.5x crop it was wide enough for my tastes, but allowed for a little zoom, which helped to tweak the composition. Very few times did i feel i needed something on the wide end, but that is more a personal thing. I've never wanted to shoot super wide angle shots.

Build quality is pretty good as well. Doesn't feel as solid as a 70-200, but it is definitely a solid lens and a HUGE step from a kit lens. Mine has had a couple little bumps, and has held up very well.
