of course it depend on your style. i am usually set it to the "optimum aperture" and let the camera do the rest.

in this way, you will avoid almost ALL the problem that was reported.

the one problem that you wont is the reliability issue. i had to send my lens twice to canon for repairs... the first one was under warranty, but the second one wasn't! that make the price of the lens even higher!

the 15-85 is my walk-around all purpose lens  on my 60d...have had it 2 years.. still my favorite lens.. I also have the 17-55.. but for overall shooting I still  like my 15-85 ... the extra 'zoom' on the high end and the wider angle at the short end...  I've only sent it in one time to Canon for cleaning and a checkup ... the only thing that bothers me with my 17-55 is a lot of lens flare for outside sunny-type pics.. tried it using a Canon hood... tried it using a clear B+W Pro UV filter.. still the same .. nice using it inside though at 2.8

my Canon 60d sure beats using that ol' Petri 7s
