Excellent Glass
I love this lens. Consistently sharp. This will always be my chosen walk-around lens. I have it on my camera nearly all the time, other than when I need my Macro, longer Zoom, or my 50mm prime.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Quick Focus
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy
- Lens Creep

Not perfect, but the best possible solution if you want a single travel lens.
For years I've been trying to get a lens that will be enough for almost everything when I travel, and deliver good quality at the same time. The thing is, the 18-55 kit lenses are perfectly usable and have a useful range, so it turns out it is not that easy to get something significantly better.

The EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM zoom lens is one of two lenses announced by Canon in September when details of the EOS 7D were revealed. It's offered with the 7D body in the Platinum kit and covers a wide-to-telephoto zoom range of roughly 5.6 times.

I purchased this lens for a trip to Yellowstone and it performed great! I got it refurbished from Canon. The zoom range is ideal for walk around.
Pros:
- Very Sharp
- Good color and contrast
- IS works great and AF is spot on
Cons:
- Wish it was 77mm instead of 72, so more of my filters would fit it
- Price still a little high

Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Review
With Image Stablisation, UD elements and an Ultrasonic Motor, is this feature-filled objective the perfect kit-lens replacement?
Pros:
- Excellent handling and IS system
Cons:
- Drop-off in MTF curves

Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Review
At a casual glance Canon's 15-85mm lens looks inferior to Nikon's 16-85mm in one important aspect: it has only a single-mode image stabilisation system against the Nikkor's dual-mode system.
Pros:
- Excellent handling and IS system
Cons:
- Drop-off in MTF curves

Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
I have had this lens for one and a half years, and it has been a nice mate for my camera. It is great: very sharp from 15 to 85 mm (although not so much in the corners at its widest aperture), very good at f11 for landscape photography.
Pros:
- Sharp
- quick focus
- good range
Cons:
- Non constant aperture: f5.6 is a bit slow

Canon EF-s 15-85mm a must have lens.
The Canon EF-s 15-85mm is an excellent lens for any photographer. In the 1990s my wife and I took a trip to Europe and I took my trusty Canon A1 with the FD 28-85mm f4 lens along with a few filters and some 20 rolls of film.
