Review on Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM UD Lens: High-Quality Standard Zoom for Canon DSLR Cameras by Momchil Dimitrov ᠌

Lens for your money. It falls short of L with its shortcomings. The picture quality is quite decent. Add L 70-200 and the whole travel range is covered. I did not find analogues in terms of range and functionality. Some pros: Versatile for travel where the city predominates. Very good from 24 to 85. Quality picture. From 15 to 24 is also good, but the barrel is present, although it is noticeable only when shooting nearby objects. The scenery is clear and wonderful! Compact, fast focusing. Used with the 550th. IS helps out, the picture is stable even at a shutter speed of 1/10. With its cons: Focus misses are common (even in good daylight). Barrel 15-20. Whatever one may say, but this is a disadvantage.
