Easy-to-use impressive image quality
The Canon EF-S 15-85mm lens offers great low-light performance due to the inclusion of a 4-stop Image Stabilizer that automatically detects panning and tripods, responding accordingly to help photographers take steady shots in any situation. The addition of ultra low dispersion (UD) lenses and aspherical lens elements – as well as lens coatings optimised to combat ghosting and flare – ensure high quality throughout. It also includes a circular aperture for beautiful background blur (bokeh).

SLRGear.com reviews the Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM and writes:
“With very good, if not excellent results for sharpness, resistance to chromatic aberration, distortion and corner shading, Canon has released an excellent general purpose lens. If you were looking for an upgrade to a kit lens and can’t decide between wide angle and telephoto, this could be an excellent choice.”

Photoreview.com.au reviews the Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM and writes:
“The image stabiliser was slightly better than we found in the EF-S 18-135mm lens. It enabled us to use shutter speeds as slow as 1/6 second with a focal length of 85mm, which is slightly better than Canon’s claim of four f-stops stabilisation advantage.“

“The Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 USM IS is certainly a desirable lens … Overall we’d say that the lens is slightly over-priced regarding its performance but eventually the street prices will come down to more sane levels.“

“Offering top-tier image quality over an excellent general purpose focal length range in a nicely-sized/weighted/built body with great AF and an excellent implementation of Image Stabilization at a for-what-you-get great price. …The Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens is a great leave-on-the-camera lens – It is going to share this role with my 17-55.”
