IMHO this lens should be priced <500$.

Only slightly sharper than the 18-55IS kit zoom in most of the overlapping range, just as slow and more decentering problems; but better color/contrast, much better mechanical quality and more useful range (I don't care about the 55-85 part especially with the slow aperture, but 15-18mm is very useful to me). Difficult to see why you have to pay 10x the kit zoom price for these extras ....

P.S.: for IR photography there is no competition, the kit zoom is horrible in IR.
