Re: Canon 15-85 USM + 60D or T4i with 18-135 STM

I have the 15-85 and also think it perfect for travel.

I bought it because I wanted better image quality then the 18-55 and I found the range too narrow and would always want to switch lenses. (not wide enough, and not long enough)

I think the 15-85 range is perfect and I don't feel the need for a UWA. Also 85 is perfect in general walk around.. if I need longer then I really need long and don't mind switching lenses.

The image quality is better but I would not say night and day.. the kit lens is actually pretty good.

However the 15-85 range is great, the lens feels very solid, the focus is very fast and accurate.

I think the 15-18 is a lot more important then the 85-135.. You can always crop a little but you can get wider sometimes.
