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

$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

Images seem sharp

I have a 50D and had been using a 28-135IS Lens. I thought my pictures looked great but I needed a lens that could go wider so I choose the 18-85. Picture look great so far (had less than a week).

Fantastic lens!

"If this lens had a constant aperture it would be about as perfect as a zoom can get for my uses. (I shoot a lot of climbing, i.e. environmental portraiture.) This is my favorite zoom lens. It covers an excellent focal length range, and the 24 mm equivalent wide end is my favorite part!

15-85 mm Lens

I purchased the T3i with the standard 18-55 mm lens. After using the kit lens, it was decided that a higher quality lens was needed. Purchased the 15-85 mm and the difference is like night and day.
