$25 bucks a month
I bought this to replace the kit lens (18-55) for my 450d, I also got to put my 28-75mm on the shelf. The focal range of this lens was the big attraction for me. I am happy with the look and feel of this lens, nice and tight, no creeping with camera down.
Pros:
- 3 years no interest when I purchased it online
Cons:
- wide angle performance
- EF-S mount

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

Perfect Main Lens
I purchased my EOS 550D as a body only to use this as the primary lens (rather than the 18-55mm) and I have not regretted it at all. The extra width provides a better working space when taking group photos or need that little bit more of the landscape, as well as a decent amount of zoom that your...
Pros:
- Superior build quality
- Reliable
- Durable
- Easy to use

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

Best lens I own
This combo of 15 to 85 is great. It's only f 3.5 but what do you expect for a 15-85 with everything else? Manual focus is easy and slips once you hit the stops but you feel it.
Pros:
- 15 to 85 is perfect for me
- It's also macro up to 1.2'
- Has IS (image stabilizer) and ultrasonic focus motor
- AND it's a Canon lens which IMHO are great quality
Cons:
- It's a bit heavy for my T2i Canon body so the balance is a bit off but when I put it on my old 10D, it's nicely balanced
- Cost as much as the T2i body
- Not enough cons to loose an egg

Excellant walk around lens
Nice and sharp wide open at all focul lengths. IS works great. No problem for sharp pics at 1/13 a sec at 34mm on 7D.Mine is almost as sharp wide open as it is at F8. No decentering at all.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Durable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Consistent Output
Cons:
- Pricey

REVIEW: Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
Lens oracle, Gary Wolstenholme examines the new 15-85mm IS USM lens from Canon. Canons' 15-85mm lens costs around ￡639 and is the natural replacement for their popular EF-S 17-85mm IS USM lens which can be had for around ￡380, due in part to this new lens becoming available.
Pros:
- Useful zoom range
- Excellent sharpness at most apertures and focal lengths
- Image Stabiliser
- Good build quality
Cons:
- Distortion
- Vignetting at 15mm
- Flare and ghosting performance (no lens hood supplied
